Is there a plugin that when someone opens a conversation window with you, it also opens up a conversation window or some sort of notification on your computer? 

They have this feature on AMSN (open-source msn client), but I'm wondering if there is a plugin for Messenger Plus 3.5 that does this.

Stuff Plug used to have an option for this... have a look for an older version of it

with msn 7 openconvo notification is possible just not entirely accurate (when your contacts have msn 7)

check here it might help you out:

also here look at CookieRevised's response to openconvo notifiers:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=38...d=379129#pid379129

in both of these thread's you can find a link to a very nice openconvo notifier

According to your post in the other thread, you said it does not work with MSN 7.

"openconvo and other open conversation notifications only work with msn messengers earlier than the beta 7 one... read somewhere why.. i dont feel like making this post longer..."

So will it work?

It won't be 100% accurate if you're using 7.0

See Cookie Revised reply to openConvo (notifies when a user open/close your chat window)

Note/edit:
It doesn't matter if YOU use MSN 7, or not.. it becomes inaccurate when YOUR contacts uses MSN 7... there is a difference...

I've installed and configured OpenConvo and MSN starts up with no errors, but OpenConvo doesn't do anything (no notifications or anything).

I've entirely read through Wouter's original OpenConvo thread, and I've done the "solution" thing in one of Joa's threads. 

I think I may have messed around with Windows Messenger in the past, but I don't remember what I did. I didn't remove it though.  However, Remote Assistance works, and I understand that the Windows Messenger API is required for it to work. 

Can I assume that the Windows Messenger API is working correctly?  If so, should I try totally reinstalling MSN Messenger, Plus, and the open convo plugin?

Edit:  I've just tried uninstalling all of my plugins and only reinstalling OpenConvo.  (For the ScreenShotSender plugin, I just deleted ss.dll and freeimage.dll from the plugins folder, because I couldn't find an uninstaller... I hope that's ok )  When I reinstalled OpenConvo and started MSN, I got this error message:  http://img78.exs.cx/img78/6578/openconvo1fc.jpg

Messenger Discovery Also has this feature, and quite a few other useful or entertaining features. It isn't compatible with MSN Messenger 7 yet but will be as soon as the final version comes out and will have an automatic update for this.

[Edit] I'm a bit late and off topic now but oh wel it's there if that pluggin doesn't work lol

i found a link that should fix the error here under  (under ActiveSpeed Revision #373 Update)
http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/news.php
i installed it and nothing bad happened
it seems that this is only a 30 day trial. - so go with the libraryfiles instead.

if it doesn't help you than follow my instructions again. i guarantee that they will work if you follow them STEP BY STEP
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=38...d=379129#pid379129

try uninstalling everything msn, plus, plugins.
than once again, install msn, than plus.
make sure you
install the library files from this link
http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/libraryfiles.exe
and make sure to register them and than RESTART your computer.
than you may install openconvo and it should work

Thanks for all your help, ProblemWvAuthority and Joa.

Strangely, that error fixed itself when I simply restarted MSN.   But it still doesn't function correctly (no notifications).

I will try your instructions again, Joa.

By the way, can somebody let me know whether it is correct to use Remote Assistance to test whether my Windows Messenger API is intact?
