Hi guys,

Just wanted to post here as I can't find a solution to my problem anywhere, and it seems to be Messenger Plus! Live that's cuasing the problem.

The other day I was just going about my merry IM'ing ways, then I changed my status to "Away" (which in turn would bring up  the Plus! Live away dialouge", and instead of bringing that up my whole computer just restart - no BSOD, no error message, just a full black screen and then my computer started to POST.

Started the compyter again and it did the same thing. I restarted again, logged in, and then went to the About Plus! Live box, it opened fine then when I clicked on it (it was hiding behind a window and wanted to bring it forward), the computer restarted again.

I thought I'd done something wrong so I turned off the XP "Restart on System Failure" option, then changed my status to away (I login as appear offline most of the time) and BAM! same problem. No BSOD, nothing.

I re-installed Plus! Live, WLM, and patched again and it was fine for a day or so, and then the problem came up. I thought my computer just needed a good clean-out or had some corrupted files, so I formatted the whole thing and started again.

Installed Windows Live Messenger, installed Plus! Live, patched with Mess Patch and all seemed peachy. Problem solved? Nope.

After a couple of days or so when I went to put some contacts on the desktop I set up the default transperancy in the Plus! main config and went to push OK, as soon as I did, BAM! restart again. Turned computer back on and logged in, changed status to away and the whole thing reset again.

Any ideas what's going on? I can't see anything in the Windows XP Event Logger that says why the computer restart..

Thanks guys.
