With regards to your second problem there is a discussion here which may help you:

Change language in Windows Live Messenger 8.5

particularly the last post (i think) might be relevant to you

Also, do you have messenger discovery live installed as there have recently been some issues with that and causing bits of plus to function incorrectly.

do any plus icons show in the contact list window or chat window?

Thanks all for trying to help

actually am she not he =p


djdanny : )

i don't have messenger discovery live no...and i don't think i have any plus icon on my messenger

see am not sure if that's what you mean    but on the contact list there r (open ue email box - view your sharing folders -go to window live today) and on the right side (change your color scheme-show menu )


that's all for contact list the rest are missing


in chat window there r ( select an emoticon-select a wink-send a nudge-record a voice-change ur font or text color-select a back ground)


that's all what i have in my messenger now..sorry but am trying to be precise...

i'll read the link u gave about smily center too and tell what happen


thanks alot djdannyp =)

Which version of Windows Live Messenger are you using?

djdannyp as to the  link u gave me

yes i read it before i followed all the steps

except step number seven which says

Scan your system for malware.
Some malware are known to reinstall SweetIM and/or SmileyCentral without your authorization. Scan your system for malware with Spybot Search & Destroy or with Ad-Aware SE and remove any malware detected by those utilities. You might want to reboot after your scan and do another scan to make sure no such malware is left running on your computer.

cozi wasn't sure how to do that ...

and there is something i need to mention..actually i think this might be the basic reason behind the problem

my windows defender is preventing Adware from running


do u think if i restore it ..that would solve the problem??


thank u : )

matty am using window live messenger final 8.5


but i also this one the latest i think

http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/?lang=en


still the same problem...it's not working with any

Did you install Plus with or without the sponsor?

mmm I installed messenger plus right with windows live messenger

that's all what i know..

what's the sponsor exactly...in which name would i find it on the  programs list?


and again does adware has any thing to do with it ..since my windows defender is stopping the adware from running

btw... I use windows vista

If windows defender is blocking adware and you installed plus with the sponsor then this could potentially be causing the problem.

The sponsor is an option during install.

Try removing Plus! (from Programs and Features) and re-installing without the sponsor

Also, are you an administrator on your Vista install?  If not then it's advisable to run the Plus! installation as an administrator (right click on the file and choose "Run as administrator"....also try the same when opening messenger

hello djdannyp : )

actually i didn't notice the (sponsor option) at any time I tried to install the messenger...but I'll follow your advice and tell you what happen : )


I'll go according to steps u gave and inform you about the result later


thanks alot dj

I think my problem is over by now

and the additions are back...

the problem was that plus disappeared while msn messenger remained in my pc which caused me confusion..but later on I reinstalled msn messenger 8.5 and then plus..( with out the sponser ) as u said.


the problem was teeny weeny infact

alas! i wasn't aware of that lol

thanks alot djdanny u've been a great support

same for matty


take care ^_^
