You don't need to reinsatll Stufplug.

Also, did you try running MSN Messenger without plus to see if the same thing happens?

Cheers, all sorted on the Stuffplug options front now.

No, I'll check if you can tell me how to close Plus without msn?!

I can't see what else would be affecting it, as I said the only things I run are Plus! and Stuffplug. I am going to try it without Plus when I know how lol.

Press alt+ctrl+del, go to the Processes tab and shutdown MsgPlus.exe to turn off Plus... It will be restarted at the next reboot of your pc.

I thought it was ctrl+alt+del but i bet they both work

Order of the Ctrl/Shift/Alt keys in a keyboard shortcut don't matter ;p

Weird... I had tried that already but find that Plus continues to run so I thought there must be another way of doing it. Surely something is wrong if I stop it running in taskmanager (so that if I open it again Plus isnt shown) but it's still running on messenger?!

I just tried it again and the same thing happened, even after closing and restarting messenger Plus still shows as running lol.

if "Plus! > Preferences > General > Miscellaneous > Attach Mode" is set to alternate mode then this is normal behaviour

Ah cheers... should this just be set to default mode then? (Or default mode forced?)

And the answer to the question is yes, this problem still occurs without Plus running.

I have this same problem. I consecutively uploaded about 15 pictures (they were a bit large) to my Backgrounds. Then, when I tried opening any one of them, all of MSN freezes and I have to open Task Manager and "end now" everything.

I've tried uninstalling MSN and reinstalling again, no luck.

I've tried going to:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<msn id>\Backgrounds

But once I get to Microsoft, there isn't even a MSN Messenger file.

I can upload a background right now and it will work. But when I try clicking on anyone of the 15 backgrounds I consecutively opened, it freezes. I can't even remove them because it freezes, I guess when trying to show the preview picture.

Please help!!!!!!!

----------------------
EDIT... ITS FIXED!

My sister was on our other computer which shares the same files. So she shared the same backgrounds that were frozen with me. Then, they started to work! I could click on the ones that she shared that used to freeze! Same picture from the same file. So we continued to share all of them so I could at least click on them and delete them. When we were nearly done, I checked my Backgrounds list and they were all gone. Back to normal. Weird. But now I can upload pictures and I'll be careful to only upload a few at a time and a maximum of 9 or 10.

Edit

Minor setback... I logged out of MSN and signed back in later and my backgrounds again were all gone. Have to upload them again. Weird.
