Plus! uninstalling itself from windows live messenger? by etxeberria on 03-30-2009 at 04:45 AM
Whenever I restart my computer, Messenger Plus! has uninstalled itself from msn messenger.
I do not have SweetIM or SmileyCentral installed, and yes, I checked to make sure.
I'm running the latest versions of both windows live messenger and messenger plus.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Administrators account?

Messenger Plus! Live Disappears after restart
Try reading the above thread, there's a few other programs as well as SweetIM and SmileyCentral and are incompatible with Messenger Plus! Live.
And Chris was asking if you had administrator priveleges on the account on your computer, but that won't make a difference in this case. It is most likely to be one of the programs listed in the above thread.
If you do not have any of those programs, please post a screenshot of your Add/Remove Programs (XP) or Programs & Features (Vista) as there may be another incompatible program that we are not yet aware of

Oh, I see. I do have administrative privileges.
Here's a screenshot of the programs installed on my computer. I don't have any of the programs you listed installed. Note that messenger plus doesn't uninstall itself from my computer, only live messenger. I have to go to my installed programs and repair messenger plus every time I restart my computer.
I'm not sure why this is happening, it's been like this for a few days. I think it's been happening ever since I installed the latest plus! & the latest windows live messenger, which was a few days ago. Plus! worked fine before that.

You've contradicted yourself here. Do you mean that you have to repair Messenger Plus! Live or Windows Live Messenger?
Have you tried completely uninstalling both pieces of software and then doing clean re-installs, starting with Windows Live Messenger?

I have to repair messenger plus!.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both once on the night of 3/27, after I restarted and noticed Plus! wasn't showing up. It didn't seem to help.
