ok cool if you have any problems or anything is not clear just post and ask

One more question

Which file(s) should I backup before I reinstall Plus?  I don't want to lose all of my custom sounds.  Or does it automatically preserve all of my configs and custom sounds when I uninstall?

all your preferences should be saved if you un-check that option in uninstall

just make sure to check the option to uninstall at the plugins though

Very strange....

I uninstalled:
- ScreenShotSender, StuffPlug, and OpenConvo 
- MsgPlus 3.5 and I also deleted the entire MessengerPlus 3 folder in Program Files
- MSN Messenger 7 beta

Then, I installed the Library Files, restarted, and reinstalled MSN Messenger, MsgPlus, and OpenConvo. 

The first time I started it up, the OpenConvo initial configuration popup didnt appear.  I went into Preferences-Plugins and pressed the Configure button for OpenConvo, but nothing happened. 

So I restarted MSN, and this error appeared again http://img78.exs.cx/img78/6578/openconvo1fc.jpg  Immediately after I closed that error, it popped up with OpenConvo's "This is your first time using OpenConvo...."  Then, I could see the outlines of the Configuration window, but then it disappeared immediately, as if it failed to open.

When I restarted MSN again, there were no errors, and I could successfully access the configuration panel of OpenConvo.  However, no toasts appeared.  It still doesn't work

To make sure that my Windows Messenger API is working perfectly, I followed CookieRevised's instructions EXACTLY in CookieRevised's reply to I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messenger.

Yet, OpenConvo still does not work...  I even tried uninstalling OpenConvo and then installing StuffPlug 0.7x, and the open window notifier doesn't work for that either....

which version of msn 7 beta are you using?
as far as i am concerned it should work with all the beta's UP TO - 7.0.632

Edit: earlier on in the thread i posted this link: http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/news.php

the software from this link claims this:
Fixes and enhancements include fixing these errors:
Error::401 - Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed
Error::5 - Invalid procedure call or argument

i have not been able to find any free software which could fix your problem. on the site i posted, there is a 30 day trial.

hopefully somebody else has a better idea of why it does not work for you, and why you get that error message. i'm very confused, sorry i cannot help you

I'm using version 7.0.0429... is this newer than 7.0.632?

nope.

i was secretly hoping you had the leaked 7.0.0732 version. so i could blame it on that.

Edit: maybe go about trying to fix the error problem. it seems that you have done EVERYTHING that is possible to get openconvo running. i am still searching for a way to fix that error. so far i found nothing.

if you decide to use that 30 day trial, please give feedback if it worked .. but read everything they say, because i don't want to be responsible for any damage done to your computer . although i assume it is safe as i installed it too. (it comes with an uninstall in any case).

I tried the 30 day trial; it didn't fix the problem

Thanks for all your help.  I'll just stick with the close-convo notifier for now, until someone comes up with a fix

.. too bad the trial didn't work.

in the worst case unless somebody comes up with a fix, you could reinstall your system.

.. maybe some file that the openconvo notifier needs has been deleted or corrupted

eitherway, i hope somebody does find a fix

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

---

Ermm... those files don't have anything to do with OpenConvo, Messenger Plus!, MSN Messenger, etc... The fix you found is for that particular software packet found on that site, nothing more.

In fact, installing such things from other software can cause more harm then good...

If remote assistence works, then you can be pretty sure Windows Messenger is installed properly.

Other then that, I don't know what the problem might be. And that error you're getting is also very very strange and never seen before (for the OpenConvo plugin). All I can suggest is to try and (re)install the Visual Basic Runtime files in the hope it will fix it. But I somehow doubt it though as this error rather points to some conflict between MSN Messenger and something else or something. You did install MSN Messenger properly, no? Oh, and also, try to install another version of MSN Messenger (after you've properly uninstalled this one) and see if it helps anything...
