I have installed wlm plus several times now, but it's not appearing in my WLM. The plus-menu is not even there. I don't get the "not loaded" that other people seem to get. What should I do to get it working?

do you have SweetIM or SmilieCentral installed?

plus has problems with these other programs

1) Answer either (a) or (b):

   (a) Do you have sweetim or smiley central installed at the moment?

   (b) Did you have ever sweetim or smiley central installed?

2) Do you have the latest version of Both Windows Live Messenger (for 8.0 users latest is: 8.0.0812.00 and for 8.1 BETA users it is: 8.1.0168.00_ClientV8.1) and Messenger Plus! Live (version 4.11.251)?

3) Do you have something Like Windows Live One Care installed?


Once these questions are answered I think we will be well on our way to solving it.

Forgot to mention there's no smiley bullshit on my pc. Nope, no, nada. I  even find msg plus borderline, so I have no other crap installed.

.OxY, if you are going to use my questions, please look at my recent posts, as I make sure I update and modify them slightly to ensure at users understand the questions.

Now back onto business with the questions that were missed;

4) Did or do you have any scripts installed?

5) Have you used any Patches Like Mess-Patch or APatch?

6) Does it also happen with both versions of Windows Live Messenger (8.0 and 8.1)?

you mean you added "msnmsgs.exe" to the exception list

Sometimes updating your firewall can also help.

Hi guys!

I have exactly the same issue. I have installed MLP on my brand new Dell computer running Windows 7 64 bits and MS Messenger 2011 Build 15.4.3508.1109... I ran the installation program for Messenger Plus! 5 version 5.2.0.712 as an administrator and add the program to the firewall exceptions just in case.

I do not have Smileys anything, neither Live One, or patches or scripts, the computer is brand new.

The installation program runs without glitches and when it finishes it launches the Messenger program... but there is not a single reference for the Plus! program on my screen, no main menu, no context menus, nothing.

Have I missed anything else?

Thank you,
Aaron.

azael, do you happen to have an nvidia graphics card? they're fixing this issue right now. to test if it is your graphics card, just disable it in device manager, then run wlm. dont forget to re-enable.

Hi Tylerohwhat,
I am experiencing the exact issue you are describing there.
Do you have any updates regarding the 'fixing' you are referring to ? It does not seem to be solved in the latest greatest version I just downloaded. Disabling my Nvidia card seems to solve the issue, but I don't like to keep it disabled.

Hi, pathia

Im not staff or anything so I'm not really in the loop when it comes to stuff like this, but i tested a version that fixed this issue about two weeks ago, so hopefully pretty soon.

This thread is 4 years old...

Nevertheless, see mich999's reply to Plus! and multiple video cards (Nvidia control panel).

And if the above doesnt work for you, they just released the version that fixes this.

Guys i was have the same problem BUT i fixed it
i used
Revo Uninstaller Pro
to uninstall the old versions of MSG PLUS and the Messenger LIVE

then i Installed both of them again

THEN
make a right click on the Messenger live icon or shortcut
choose:
Properties
Compatibility

and be sure that the Compatibility Mode is checked and choose
Windows XP (service Pack 3)

Apply , Ok
open messenger and congratulation

No you do not. There are members here with access to Debug versions of WLM and MP!5. If you were to use these builds, you would see what I mean. I am not going to start making wild claims if I am unable to back them up and a simple search of these forums will show you all the threads we've had, because somebody ran into problems with compatibility mode.

Using it under compat mode for XP (SP3) caused trouble for someone not even 2 days ago (Not being able to run more than one messenger). They fixed it by going to Vista compat mode, but that will still cause errors for them in the future. There is never a need to run in compat mode as both programs are designed to run on Vista/7.

All your solution says to me is that 3rd-party software is interfering with you MP! installation, but when you put it in compat mode, the other software can't load, so Plus! can load normally.

As for the steps in this thread not helping you, as you said, it's 4 years old. It's not going to be the same issue; they will not help you.

I am not about to start posting bollocks after 5 years of being on this forum and helping people, that's not how I got to position I am in. If your solution works for you, congratulations. However, as I say, this will not work for everyone and in a lot of cases and may even causes issues with their installation. I know that some time ago MP! actually reset compat mode when it was installed so it wouldn't run into any issues; as far as I know it still does this. Why would the software do this if there was no reason to?

If you had bothered to start your own thread and get tailored help to suit you, we may have been able to come up with a solution as to why exactly your MP! wasn't working, rather than just sticking a band-aid on it.
