I now have 4 people through the Dutch Plus! forum reporting the same kind of problems, all within the last 3 days.
Person one (Fleurdecerise):* Plus! disappeared ("no buttons, nothing").

I updated Plus! after which the problems started. On my laptop, which doesn't have this problem, I did not install the update so it is still running Plus! 4.83.0.378.

Since Plus! stopped working Messenger doesn't always launch right away. And I expereinced the blue screen which Fleurdecerise mentioned too.
Asked these people the questions from my first post, will post their response here when I get any. These 4, together with the 6 on the Spanish forum, and
Messenger Plus Not Working now makes 11 people with the same issue in a timespan of 3 days.
Mailed Patchou.
Update: Added their responses to the questions as far as the responded and added a new one. Doesn't look like anything stands out, but it is probably safe to say it is not caused by any script, skin, conflicting Messenger add-on or patch, or any of the usual conflicting apps with Plus!. Happens on both QFE 2 and QFE 3 so that isn't it either. XP (probably 32 bit) and Windows 7 are as far apart from eachtother as you can get too.
* Menthix waits for Patchou. Hopefully he has some useful crash reports through MS.
