WLMBeta: Locking Bug by Kadz94 on 11-26-2008 at 06:33 PM
Im using Windows Live Messenger Beta with the latest (and only) release of MsgLive Plus! for it. The problem is that when i come to lock messenger it wont lock? i activate it in the preferences options as CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + L to lock, and CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + U to unlock. Its worked once and once only. any ideas? thanks

Try CTRL+ALT+L to lock. IIRC from doing my own hotkeys, CTRL+ALT+SHIFT is actually WINKEY. As WINKEY+L is Windows own locking shortcut, it probably wouldn't work... Also, try a few different combinations (such as CTRL+1 or something similar)

Hi, thanks for reply..
yeh i tried it with CTRL + 1 to lock and still nothing happens
not even a box saying why it cant lock
it stopped working in the 8.5 aswell..?
am i missing a registry file or something?

no, that's ctrl+shift+esc. ctrl+esc opens the start menu.

Guys, iv been having the locking problem too.
Seemed to work on Vista fine, but i downloaded Windows 8, and havn't been having much luck tbh.
I new the flashing problem, and havnt tried it to see if it works on 8 yet, but ill try that later.
I can't lock it, and it doesnt seem to save my chat logs, either.
Ohh, and colours arn't being displayed.
I think WLMBeta + Plus + Windows 8 don't play nice..
Adam.

Oh, and Plus! isn't fully compatible with the latest build of WLM, so don't expect colors, chat logs and others from it =)

Wooops, i totally meant Windows 7.
Im a version ahead.
And no; im no a noob, its the beta; (the new one after Windows Vista).
Ohh, i never noticed the lack of colours until there.
Cheers for the answer,
Adam.
