Each time, I install Messenger Plus everything works fine.

When, I restart my computer or log off/log back in the Plus option at the top of my MSN disappears and I have to reinstall it each time to get it to comeback.

The funny thing is even though the Plus option from the menu disappears it is still installed cuz the Persoanlised Status appears.

See screenprint: [edit] Removed. Next time, don't post it with peoples email addesses in it.

What is the remedy to this problem?

Ok some questions:

1) Answer either (a) or (b):

   (a) Do you have sweetim or smiley central installed at the moment?

   (b) Did you ever have sweetim or smiley central installed?

2) Do you have the latest version of Both Windows Live Messenger 8.5 and Messenger Plus! Live 4.5?

3) What Firewall do you have installed?

4) What Anti-Virus program do you have installed

5) Did or do you have any scripts installed?

6) Have you used any Patches Like Mess-Patch or APatch?

1) No, to both. Never heard of smiley central.

2) My WLM is reading version 8.1 (see screenprint) and  I do have the latest version of Plus.

3) Zone Alarm (free version).

4) AVG.

5) Nada.

6) Nada, Messenger Plus is the only additional addon I use for MSN.

Problem sorted.

OK, I do apologise but my issue has been been resolved even after updating to WLM 8.5.

Thought I'd also mention I'm on Vista OS.

I dont understand, your problem has been 'sorted'/'resolved' right?

I meant to say hasn't resolved*

I don't know this method is for the problems like yours but still try it.

At Messenger Plus! Live - Registry Settings, find SafeHook setting and apply it via Windows Registry Editor. (You can find "how to apply" instructions in that page.)

Hi,

I can't find the instructions how to apply that?

I can't even find SafeHook in my registry.

Sorry, there is no real instructions in that page indeed. Let me explain then.

1. Browse for HKCU\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings
2. Right click in the section where values are displayed.
3. Select "New>DWORD value"
4. Name the new value as "SafeHook"
5. Its value will be 0 now, you can leave it like that.

Now exit Messenger and restart it. If it causes problems with Messenger, you can set it as 1 again or just delete that value.

Check screenprint if I did it right?

If so it's made no difference.
