hi

i have a problem with the personal state in Messenger Plus. when msn messenger is 'away' with this kind of state (e.g. 'playing cs') and someone writes a message to me when i´m playing, the game abort. i´ve searched in the Messenger Plus settings, but i haven´t found any options, so that that doesn´t happen. When someone send me a message and i´m playing, the messenger should send the auto-message but don´t abort the game. can anyone help me?
plz excuse my english. english isn´t my mother tongue

As far as I can tell, Plus! doesn't actually hook the connection, just the windows. So if you try to send an auto-message then Plus sets the conversation as Active (ie, brings it to the foreground and minimises your game) uses the Windows API's SendKeys to "type" the message, and then returns the original window to the foreground.

Certain applications, particularly those using DirectX (ie games) don't like being alt-tabbed, and may crash under these circumstances.

If you're not using auto-messages (I can't really tell, sorry), then I don't know what's wrong.
