Okay so here's my problem:

I've had msgplus for as long as I remember. Now there was this new version of it, Plus 5, so I installed it, but as soon as it finished installing (everything went smoothly) Windows Live Messenger (wlm) 2009 wouldn't start anymore.

I just clicked the shortcut, desktop icon, and I tried to start it from C:\Program Files, but it still doesn't work. In task manager it says there's a process running (msnmsgr.exe) but it's just not showing up in my screen. I tried reinstalling both msgplus and wlm but to no avail. I also restarted the laptop several times, also not working. Messenger is working when I remove msgplus AND messenger and then reinstall messenger, but I'm not really willing to do that.. there must be an easier way.

So I figured, if version 5 doesn't work, I'll take 4.9. But, big surprise: wlm is now reacting the same way to 4.9. And I have always been using msgplus 4.9 in combination with wlm 2009. (I'm still using 2009, simply because the 2011 version of wlm is super annoying to work with)

it's really frustrating and I would very much appreciate any help from either people who have had the same kind of problem, or the developers of msgplus, because now not only msgplus isn't working, but I'm not getting wlm to start up without it either..

just for your information, I'm not "fixing" this problem by installing wlm 2011. I'd rather not have msgplus and a decent version of wlm.
