There is no compatibility mode in Messenger Plus! 4 for the latest Windows Live Messenger.
quote:Messenger Plus! Live 4.8 (current release) is not compatible with the any version of Windows Live Messenger 2011, including the final version (released September 30, 2010).
* Microsoft recently released a beta version of Messenger 2010/2011 (Wave 4). Although Messenger Plus! is not compatible with the new version yet, this new release properly detects the beta and do some basic initialisation for things like the auto-update feature.
* When the new Messenger beta is detected, Messenger Plus! adds its usual "Software not loaded" menu in the contact list. From this menu, the compatibility window can be displayed to display some information and, more importantly, to let more advanced users disable "safe mode".
o When safe mode is disabled with the beta, Messenger Plus! activates some of its functionalities. Using Messenger Plus! in this mode may cause all sorts of errors to occur, no support will be given for beta versions of Messenger.
o If you experience issues after disabling safe mode, use the Maintenance wizard (available from the uninstaller) to revert Messenger Plus! to its normal state.
* The Repair Wizard of the uninstaller now resets the "safe mode" setting of Messenger Plus! even if user preferences are not erased.
* When Windows Live Messenger is not detected on a system, the setup does not download Messenger Plus! 3 automatically anymore on Windows XP systems. Users can still download Messenger Plus! 3 directly on msgpluslive.net.

RE: MP!L4 Compatability mode?
Disabling safe mode doesn't work on the build released September 30. Hence no compatity for the latest version. Disabling safe mode only worked on the previous (beta) build.
