O.P. Messenger Plus Win2k
Hello

Is there any way to start Messenger Plus in Windows 2000 mode?

MSN have started force user to run Windows Live and i hate that version of the application. Only way to start MSN 8.1 is by select to run it in Windows 2000 mode, but when doing this Messenger Plus menu will be disable.
So i wonder if there is any way to work around this?

thanks

I'm afraid nope, let's wait for MSGPlus answers.

Right now, I'm using 8.5, only 8.X version works without 2000 mode.

Messenger Plus! Live only work with XP and above. There is no way to force it to work in Windows 2000, even as a compatibility mode, sorry about that.

You could run the latest version or Windows Live Messenger and Plus!, then apply one of the many skins that make WLM like MSN again : http://www.msgplus.net/skins/

Should give you all options you need really.
