ah i see...its version 2009 build 14.0.8089.726   which im guessing makes my problem even odder *sigh*

Make sure your Windows 7 account has the proper rights for reading AND writing to the directory where you want to save your logs.

My wild guess is that this has probably nothing todo with the version of Windows Live Messenger (nor Messenger Plus! for sure), but everything with the Windows account itself.

im the sole user of both computers, and have set admin rights for myself on both, though admittedly im not that hot with windows 7 yet, is there any way of physically checking whether it should be possible for me to create and save the logs?

Sure... Just as you would do in XP: open up Windows Explorer (<Win>+<E>), navigate to the log directory and create a new file there.

done as suggested...turned out that when i right-clicked and hit 'new..' it only offered the option to put a folder in there and nothing more, so i have now set all permissions for every user to allow full access, and can create all types of files in the folder now, but still it refuses to create a log there

about to give up on this i fear...at one point it recorded a single word, but now has stopped again without me changing any settings...im at a total loss
