The plus pop up thing that comes up when you have notifications on for users sometimes will show up even ontop of a fullscreen game, I was just wondering if this could be fixed...

Before you go into a Full Screen game do a "Messenger Lock"
you can find it at
Plus>preferences...>Privacy Protection>Messenger Lock Tab
Lock messenger with (default shift+ctrl+/)
Then when your done with the game double click the msn messenger icon and type your password to unlock it
People can still send you messages and stuff but they will not be shown until you unlock your messenger

I know you can do that, I usually do, but sometimes I forget and it would be nice to not have it popping up and stealing the focus from my game.

Don't forget and it will never happen

This is actually an internal MSN bug... when i am playing CounterStrike the toasts from MSN will steal the focus.... although i don't really mind because it makes the graphics go funny and i can see thru walls

Hmm I've never had a problem with the MSN toasts popping up...but the plus toasts seem to...weird

Set your status to "Busy" before playing a game
