O.P. Undecided  Log files wont open
Hi, a few days ago I installed the Picassa Program from Google and it overwrote the default program to open the encrypted Plus log transcripts.

So... I re-installed plus and this has seems to have re-over-written the file association again... however, when I try and open a log file nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

In the file types window --> .ple files are set to open with Messenger Plus! I assume this is correct.

Thanks,
- Mark

My suggestion...Un-install that Picassa thing, delete your chat logs and directory, reboot, then change your password in the preference section of Messenger Plus...:-/

Why should he delete his logs? Maybe it's just a file association problem. Jedimark, try uninstalling that Picassa program and reinstalling Plus.
When you double-click your encrypted logs in Explorer nothing happens at all?

But I don't want to un-install Picassa... presumably as soon as I re-install it the .ple extensions would be changed again.

Q: What is the program to open the encypted log files? Is it the Plus! executable?

Update: If I open the logs via Plus! --> "Open Log File" I can access the logs fine... this is what makes me think that Windows is using the wrong program to open the log files.
