Long Story. So screwed by Bananaaa on 07-15-2006 at 06:50 PM
This is a really long story...
So I used to have Messenger Plus until I decided to install Messenger Plus LIVE. I installed it and decided that I didn't like it that much and wanted to go back to Messenger Plus. So I deleted everything and I began installing Messenger Plus over again.
The bad thing is, it said that I need Windows Messenger Version 4.6 in order to download it again. So I did.
After I did that, I download Messenger Plus but it opens using Windows Messenger. It has the Plus tab though, and I really don't know what's going on.

When I tried removing Windows Messenger, it doesn't show up on my Add/Remove Programs.
I know this is a bit complicated, but can anyone help?

Yes so know download MSN Messenger from here -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...c14&DisplayLang=en and then you'll be able to use Messenger Plus! with MSN Messenger.

Umm, ok...

...but removing it will make it now work...? Bleh.
When you install Messenger Plus!, it also installs on Windows Messenger aswell as MSN Messenger.
Edit: Yeah, you need MSN Messenger

Sorry Joa, I thought it 'removed' it.

WLM doesn't use any of Windows Messenger's features at all (afaik).

Is it fixed now? Or do you still need help?
