Kay, so I know quite a few people has had their problem fixed under this category, but I have looked at the lists of programs that might interfere with Messenger Plus! and I have none of them installed except Maplestory, which I have immediately removed. I then tried re-installing Messenger Plus! one more time and it still wont work...my WLM stays the same and the little icon will not show up besides the email icon. It frustrates me since this problem has been a couple weeks old.

Will anyone be able to lend me a hand?

Take a look at Problem with the download update?

Basically some people couldn't install Plus! even tough they didn't have any of the software that interfere... the problem was something with the installer and the Visual Studio 2010 and there was a new build released, download ir from: http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/

Are you running Windows Live Messenger in Compatibility Mode?  This can stop Plus! from showing up and functioning correctly

I feel really stupid for not being able o fix this problem even after that. >_<

I've tried downloading the compatibility mode, still nothing..

Compatibility mode isn't something you download, it's a way of running Windows Live Messenger which some people do in order to make it operate in an outdated fashion.

It should be set NOT to run in compatibility mode, to double check this, right click on the shortcut and choose "Properties" then check the "Compatibility" tab

oh, okay, I thought the older version of Messenger Plus! My bad.

Okay, I've tried what you've said and my Windows Live Messenger is NOT running on compatibility mode. I've restarted it once again, still nothing.

Could you post screenshots of your Programs & Features (Add/Remove Programs on XP) so that we can see all of your installed programs?  It's possible that there's some incompatible software that we are as yet unaware of.

Alright,

#1 & #2

If you disable your internet security and re-install Messenger Plus! Live then does it show up?

Also you can uninstall Messenger Plus! 3 as that is for an old Messenger client

I've removed the Messenger Plus! 3 and Messenger Plus!, disabled my internet security and re-installed Messenger Plus! still nothing.
