Hi everytime i download msg plus my windows live messenger only works for about 10 maybe 15 mins with the plus application and then it cuts out with a dialogue box that says windows live messenger has encountered and error and needs to close and this happes only when i have downloaded the plus application. i have tried numerous time to uninstall and then reinstall the msg plus application but the same thing keeps happening....is there anyway that i could use the old version of msn messenger plus because the main feature i wish to have on the my windows messenger is boss control where i can hide my msn in my toolbar.
