i just downloaded the latest msn messenger which is a 8.91 mb installer The size just keeps increasing

Anyways i downloaded and installed it over the old msn. When it launched my firewall (zone alarm security suite (av+fw+asw)) stopped it and asked me for permissions .... i allowed it and then it crashed. I restarted it and it crashed again.
So i uninstall it and then reinstall. Same problem.

It was downloaded from the official site as usual. http://messenger.msn.com/Download

I cant confirm the version number as i cant even get it started I just copied the version number from Absorbations skin thread which happened to be in the same forum

Yeh stuffplug will crash msn 7.5 if the over-sized display pictures feature is enabled. I suggest you remove stuffplug  and try again.

Thank god. Im waiting for TB's new release
And A. Madsen why did the size increase if they removed the support for older versions O.o

beta versions have more debugging features and stuff i guess thats why the size is huge, anyways you dont have to totally disable SPNG

Start > Run > regedit > go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<your email>\Preferences\Plugins\stuffplug-ng.dll

and set BigEmotes and BiggerDP to 00

Setup Changes

It wasn't easy, but Messenger had to make the painful decision to only support Windows XP gold and above users on this new version since the majority of our customers are running newer systems If you are running an older OS you'll have to stick with Messenger 7. Lucky for you that was a good product too. For the people running XP and above, thanks to this change we were able to clean up and get rid of a bunch of the bulk, which will result in a smaller setup package.

My point exactly .... it says "which will result in a smaller setup package." and the size has increased.

7.0.x (random)      -> 7.01 MB
7.5.x (older)          -> 7.62 MB
7.5.0299 (current) -> 8.91 MB

See what i mean
Can i run the old stuffplug with big emos, unlimited emos only and no ads ?? Those are the 3 most imp things for me
