I have same or at least similar problem. The new "Messenger Plus Live" does not create a chat log file. I have set for encryption and previously had no problem with the older version. I can get into the encrypted file but there is no entry for a chat session. Wonder if there is a log compatibility problem with Windows Live Messenger 8.0?
Anyone else having this problem... fix or suggestions needed!
Win XP Pro SP2 and all Updates
Windows Live Messenger Ver. 8.0
Thanks,
