MSN Messenger ver.:7.0
Window 2000
MSgPlus! 3

When I was trying to install Display Picture Changer 1.0,
A problem occured (shown on the fig.)

How to solve it?

You need Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live to have access to scripts.... in order to get Windows Live Messenger you need Windows XP though... So unless you get that you have to stick with Messenger Plus! and Plug-ins.

Is there any script(s) or version that I can install without changing the OS?

I don't believe so... but there might be... Somebody else please confirm if you can or not without changing the OS...

There are people that have managed to force versions of Messenger 7.5 onto Windows 2000, so it may be possible with WLM and MP!L, but it won't be supported, not officially anyway.

After all:
Windows 2000 = Windows NT 5.0
Windows XP = Windows NT 5.1

all good and well, but fact remains that Windows 2000 is based upon Windows NT 5.0, which also means that certain APIs are slightly different or that even certain APIs aren't even supported.

Moral of the story: There is a perfect reason why MS don't let you install 7.5 on Windows 2000, it is not 100% compatible!

Scripts are Windows Live Messenger + Plus!Live only....not for MSN Messenger.
