Do you have Messenger Plus! installed? If not you posted in the wrong forum.

If you do, do you have any scripts installed?

yeah i do have Messenger Plus and what scripts ?
i dont remember installing any scripts

i got it working last night but i cant remember how i did it i stoped some programs on the task manager but i cant remember what ones and it worked now ive tried it today and it doesnt work at all ive tried stopping programs on task manager like i did last night and it doesnt work at all now but what i have also noticed is that dwm.exe is running at 35,244k all the time and im sure it never used to and the same with explorer.exe its running at 21,364k and i cant remember if it was running that high or not and ive done a scan with ad-aware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and ad-aware has removed cookies and it still doesnt work :(

Scripts are add-ons for Plus! - find the Script Menu button (three blocks, stacked) on the contact list, then go to Script Preferences to see if you have any installed.

DWM is Desktop Window Manager (it's what runs Aero in Windows 7)...  mine's running at ~70000k, and I also have Explorer running at ~38000k and ~33000k, so I don't think that would be the problem.

no i dont have any scripts installed do i have to have scripts installed ?

No, our point was that it might be scripts that are interfering with the Messenger process, but that won't be the case if you don't have any.

Do you have any other Messenger add-ons, such as MessengerDiscovery, SweetIM or SmileyCentral?

nope i dont have any other add ons for msn the only add on i have for msn is Messenger Plus

If you uninstall Plus! does the problem still occur?
