Hi

I recently installed Windows Messenger Live after having used MSN Messenger (XP) with Messenger Plus for a while. The next time I started up the computer I got an error message saying "Messenger Plus! - Installation Altered.  Messenger Plus! has not been installed properly on this system. Please download and install the setup package of this program".

I downloaded and installed Messenger Plus! Live, but still get the same message everytime I restart the computer, even after having uninstalled MP! Live and reinstalling it.  It's not such a big deal although it is rather annoying that you cannot just close the error message window without it automatically opening Windows Explorer and going to www.msgpluslive.net.

What can I do to get rid of this error message?

Thanks

Searching the forums, there has been a couple of people with the same problem and they didn't find a solution.

Try uninstalling Messenger Plus! Live from Add/Remove Programs, then delete the Messenger Plus! Live folder in Program Files. Then download a new copy from www.msgpluslive.net.

Make sure you are installing Plus! Live on an Administrator's account.

Thanks a lot for your help Chris4.  Duuuhhh... so simple really, I should have thought of it myself. After I deleted the entire folder from Program Files and then reinstalled MP!Live the error message disappeared.  Now all is well.

Cheers

Messenger Plus! Live is not compatible with Messenger 7.5 and below. Please get Windows Live Messenger if you want to use Messenger Plus! Live.

I have almost the same problem.  I tried downloading Messenger Plus, but when I try to run the installation, I get an error telling me that the author of the program is unknown (something along those line).  when i chose to run the program anyways, i get an error as to what Messenger Plus isn't a valid Win32 application!!!!!!!  What can I do?
