Yes, it will still function, although the reported messages must be interpreted by you (this is due the way msn messenger 7 works, more info on that can be found in various thread). eg: you'll recieve an "opened window" message when you first sign in for some people. They didn't opened a window with you though, it is their msn messenger 7 which requests an update on your DP.... This means the messages aren't always correct, but with the right interpretation, you can easly pick the ones out which are valid.

There is no other method available to detect "opened windows", this is the only way...

Every other possible plugin/addon/whatever which has such a feature will use exactly the same method as used by OpenConvo, there is no other way...

Also see my previous post about this, in this thread (it helps btw if you read the entire thread before posting stuff): http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=28...d=315737#pid315737

It will be were you have set it to be in the preferences of the plugin (if you enabled the logging of those messages of course)...

Configure the plugin before you're going to use it... Also, make sure Windows Messenger is installed on your system (if you have XP)...

No, it must be installed as this plugin uses the Messenger API...

You can configure Windows Messenger so that it does not sign you in automatically when it connects again. Simply open Windows Messenger, go to "Tools > Options > Preferences" and untick:
- Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts
- Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background

After that follow exactly the instructions given on "CookieRevised's reply to I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messanger". Windows Messenger will never bother you again, AND programs which depend on Windows Messenger (yes, even MSN Messenger depends on it for some functions!) will still keep on running 100%...
