So far the diagnosis for these symptoms; It seems to be occurring when an incompatible skin is used with Windows Live Messenger 2011.

Please try switching to the default skin or find a skin compatible for Windows Live Messenger 2011. On top of that, you could also consider using Windows Live Messenger 2009 instead.

In the skins database you can search for skins by compatibility, by selecting "Live Messenger 2011" in the "Version" drop-down menu and pressing the Search button.

Also note the details next to each skin preview thumbnail.



Note: This may not be the sole cause for these symptoms.

Yes, but we prevent that by adding some tags to the skin files that prevent them from loading in incompatible versions


Now, if I recall correctly, there was a problem with emoticons Willz fixed some time ago. Are you using the latest build of WLM2009?

One of the changes it broght was the removal of repeated "i'm" emoticons, which ended up messing with emoticons. I'll take a look at that later, anyways

WLM 2011 is not the issue here because, as I stated earlier, I'm using WLM 2009. The build is 14.0.8117.416. It should be the latest, right? I suppose I could try reinstalling WLM 2009 and Messenger Plus! Maybe that would fix the problem. I could also try looking for another skin, although I quite like this one.

Yes, it is (for WLM 2009).

You could, but that will most likely not solve anything.

What you can do however, to rule out a Plus!5 issue, is uninstall Plus!5 (keep your settings though), and re-install Plus!4 (also downloadable from the official download site) and try the same skin.

If it has the same problem than it is either a WLM issue or an issue with the skin.

If it is a skin issue, the only thing you can do is to install another skin.

(after testing with Plus!4, I suggest you re-install Plus!5 again. But don't forget to first uninstall Plus!4 in that case.
