Right click on desktop -> Personalize -> Switch back to aero.

nope, it still stays basic till i close msnmsgr then goes back to aero.

Right click on Messenger and go to properties, then go to the Compatibility tab and unselect "Disable Visual Themes"

And it can also cause several issues in Messenger and as a result with Messenger Plus! Live.

Thanks very much for your help djdannyp.

I'll run it in aero in compatibility mode for a while and see what issues arise.

great piece of software, great community thanks all.

You might not notice the issues at first, but they sure are there though.

Hello everyone,

I would like to report a similar problem. Even with compatibility mode, WLM now sits in the taskbar instead of the system tray as it used to do.

I have tried running it as admin and with various compatibility modes, but the problem remains. It used to work fine before with the compatibility trick.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate, WLM 14.0.8089.726 and Messenger Plus Live! v4.830.378.

Help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

WLM is meant to sit in only the taskbar, not the system tray.  Any method of getting it into the system tray is a hack and can cause problems

The method you are calling "hack" used to work flawlessly without ANY problems.

I am looking for a solution to bring the problem-free modification back.

Thank you.
