It will start though....
How do you know it doesn't start? Did you look at your processes (in xp: CTRL-ALT-DEL)? If you see msgplus.exe it has been started up.

That suggest to me that it indeed did start up. Because MSN Messenger will not start up Plus! for you. Plus! had to be started up before that.
Note that when Plus! is started you wont see anything visible as it is not designed for anything else then hooking Messenger. It is only when MSN Messenger is started that you'll see a visible change (the Plus! menu is added).
Maybe you're confusing Messenger Plus! to be a messenger program by itself. This is not the case. Messenger Plus! is not a messenger program, it "just" adds some more features to the existing MSN Messenger (or Windows Messenger for that matter). You're still chatting with MSN Messenger, not thru Messenger Plus!.
Messenger Plus! is an addon for MSN Messenger, it is not a standalone clone of MSN Messenger.
