If anyone would like to try my script, I've (hopefully) come up with a solution to this problem.

If you can test this, and tell me if you still get the warnings, and if so. Under what circumstances the warnings still appear.

Wouldn't a reg file do this fine?

yes but then you'd have to use it each time wlm starts cos mine tends to reset, with a script you can add the reg file on start up.

That's exactly it. Somehow it's still resetting, so I'm not sure what event i should be firing it on.

I thought a regfile that did it automatically would be a great idea, so I started studying how to do it...until I realized it was impossible (or at least I don't have enough coding experience to know how).

The reason is the MSN-ID, everyone has a different ID number with MSN which correlates to their email address.  Since I don't know what your MSN-ID is, I can't create a reg file that inputs code there.  Unless there's a funtion that puts it into all numerical fields.

There is a function written in JScript (amongst other languages) that can do it.

I thought adding the one key back fixed the problem?

I have the same problem.  It keeps coming back even after I change the message code at IMWarningMsg, so I tried deleting the WarningMsgCount, it just made another one.  Then I tried putting a variable value in there instead of a DWord, but it just changed it back.

I knew my other computer didn't have the problem, so I tried copying everything over from that registry.  There was 1 key that was missing that seems to have fixed the problem.
Using Regedit, go to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\2616624179 <--Substitute this number for whatever one your account is, this number is your msn account.

Then right click, add new DWord, Name = SMSPromoCount  Value = 2
(Some people have 5, I have 2, don't know what that does.)

Make sure you also change IMWarningCount to 5.
SMSPromoCount stops it from resetting, but if it's at 2 or 3, it will have to count UP to 5 before it freezes.

Afterwards, it shouldn't be there anymore.  Give it a try.

(If you aren't sure about which MSN account yours is, and you have several, either change them all, or try this program.  I found it on the forum, works great, no virus/trojans.)

The above solution works btw

Yup, thanks Tanith.  We're just trying to make a program so that people who don't know how to edit their registry or are too afraid to (since it could kill your system) can still fix the problem.

I have a newer version of my script which i have sent to MenthiX, which incorporates the registry key elach has found.
