Hello

This is  a question for Messenger plus software developer.

I'm a software developer too, and I would like to describe a problem with the last version That I upgraded yesterday (09 Jan 2006).

The program seems to work fine. This is Not an operational bug.
But there is a problem Using a developer Evironment like I do. (Visual Studio .NET 2003).

Probably you know that when you launch a program with the debugger, the debugger loads the informations about the running programs.

When the
'C:\Programmi\MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlusLoader.dll',
is loaded, it takes a lot of seconds to load it (7, o 8 seconds).
It is really strange, because I've ever used messenger plus, and it has neved caused this problem....

If I kill process msgplus.exe process, everything works fine.

Can you verify if there is something wrong into this DLL?

The Plus version is 3.62.146 (Italian)
the Msn Messenger version is 7.5.0311

Best regards


POL

Please read this thread: Visual Studio & MsgPlusLoader

Thank you for the quick answer... but I don't undestrand how can I avoid the problem with Visual studio.

Suggestions??

For the moment I have unistalled messenger plus...

Like raceprouk said, this problem will only happen with the alternate hooking method from Plus!. So to solve it, force Plus! to use the default hooking method. You can do that in the Messenger Plus! settings (Plus! > Preferences > General Options > Miscellaneous > and the set "Messenger Attach Method" to "Default Mode - Forced".

I've tried what you suggest, but it still doesn't work!

I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but I hope that I won't need to unistall messenger Plus.
I hope that there is an other workaround.

bye bye

When you changed from 'Alternate' to 'Default', did you reboot?

Yes, I did!

Then something must have blocked the Registry change. Are you running any Registry monitoring programs?

I've checked  the messenger plus Setting, to be sure that the changes has been applied. They are OK.
If you know a registry key that I can manually set, please, tell me.
Thank you very much

'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows' is the key I believe. Just remove MsgPlusLoader.dll from the list in the AppInit_DLLs value, and reboot

Edit: Checked, and that is the right key
