One more thing to add:
This problem could be caused by the Handwriting plugin!

Firstly do what CookieRevised suggested to fix your installs

Then uninstall the Handwriting Plugin:

- close all instances of MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger completely,
- delete the file MsnHandWriting.dll from your Messenger Plus! Plugins directory
(default directory is: c:\program files\messenger plus!3\plugins).
- Go to add/remove programs in the software tab in your configuration settings.
Look for "Ink Redistributables" or "InfoPen", if existing, click it and uninstall it.

and andrey's reply to Contacts! disappear

Well. Installed, uninstall with MSN 7. I hade an older installationfile of MSN 6.2 on my computer.. I downloaded the other MSN 6.2 installation file and installed that.. Instead of overwriting, it became a new MSN 6.2 So I have two MSN 6.2 now because I can't uninstall the other one because

"The function that you try to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click OK if you want to try again, or assign a searchpath to a folder that includes the installationpackage MsnMsgs.msi in the box below".

Pops up if I try.. So I installed MSN 7 and Plus!.. still dosen't work..

And there was no such thing as info pen or Ink Redistributables in add/remove programs in the control panel and no plugins in the MSGplus plugin directory...

Tesla7zap, do you have Windows XP? If so, add me to your MSN (thus without Messenger Plus!, so it runs) and I can try to sort it out for you remotely. I'm on msn for the next hour: [************]

EDIT: didn't work, we are both behind a router :/ *beeping* remote assistance (or *beeping* us to not install decent remote assistence software or forwarding the needed ports )

Note to Tesla7zap, I'll be back tomorow (and/or this evening/night) to walk you thru the needed steps. But beware this can take a long time

The problem is, it dosen't run without MSN plus! either.. It will just run with some old version of Plus! thats not even compatible with MSN 7.0.. There's a Plus! menu in MSN but the only thing in there is "Compatibility info"...Yeah, I have XP.. I added you now..
