As far as I know, Plus! will only save the new chatlogs you made after you've changed the setting. I don't know if there's a way to convert existing logs to text... maybe someone else knows more about it?

(and you don't need to rename to .TXT if you want to open them in notepad; XHTML is text too so you can simply open them in notepad. Though you will see XHTML code)

Make also sure you have enabled the option "Save all my chats to log files by default".
Also check your "Contacts Filter" settings. Make sure the contacts you wanna log are selected in the filter.
And double check the destination directory where your logs will be saved in.
After checking everything and pressing on the "Ok" or "Apply" button, restart Messenger.
If this doesn't fix your problem, then try to download the latest version of Messenger Plus! Live (version 4.10.250 has just been released).
