I have that problem too...When i try to delete it, it doesen't let me...So i erased all the files i could, and there are only two files left that i can't delete...PLEASE HELP

Hey,

Some times if you rename the directory that the file you want to del are in. And then reboot your computer you will then or should be able to del the files and the directory.
Make sure you  remember what you renamed the directory to or to make it easy just add one letter to the name.
If it will not let you rename the directory then sorry.

hope this helps

Try deleting it in Safe Mode.

Since you say you erased all the files you could, I assume that there were many more files than just those two. This means to me that you didn't properly _uninstalled_ the package _first_ like it is explained in the top post (step 1).

And did you rebooted (also like it is explained in the top post)?

After SEVERAL instances of people needing to be directed to this thread, I think the title should be adjusted to include the main symptom - that Plus disappears upon restarting the computer.

It might save a lot of needless threads

deleted sweetIM and re-installed Messenger Plus rtebooted laptop and seems to be working now...thank you

Hi all!

I have the following symptoms and need an urgent, official solution for it!

- Windows XP SP3
- Windows Live! Messenger 8.5.1302.1018
- Messenger Plus! 4.70

1. I tried to install the new Windows Messenger 2009 beta, but after I realized, somehow it always exit after 10-15 second without any reason, I uninstalled it. I was clear about that the Plus! isn't compatible (yet) with that version, so I didn't try it to install. It would have been enough for me if the newer MSN would have worked alone.

2. Okay, after that I decided to downgrade back to Windows Live! Messenger 8.5.1302.1018, and after installed Messenger Plus! 4.70.



since that moment I couldn't solve the problem that Plus! never appears as if it would be installed into MSN.. Even if it's in the Add / remove programs list...
You can imagine.. I tried to follow FineWolfs' rows dozen times... but never solved anything..

Other weird reflections:
- since that I've paid attention of the effect that when MSN is in the background (okay, now 'without' Plus), and after a while it always starts blinking on the taskbar. Since I always ran MSN WITH Plus, I don't know if it's normal or not.

As I remember, I had the whole same problem two years ago... and then there wasn't any WLM 9 or something.. and I had to wait until next update of Plus came....

PLEASE HELP!!!
