No, you're not understanding what I'm saying.

You're right, if you're having problems then you should do as you suggested, enable them one by one and find out the problem.  If you have an error starting messenger and you're not sure of the cause, yes, that is the smart way to go.

However, my problem is completely different.  My system is NOT crashing because of messenger, let alone the scripts.  I know this because when I had a login screen, it would often do it before I logged in, I probably shouldn't have but I raced to log in before it cut out on me.  Doing different combinations of my scripts would be a complete waste of time.

Although it may be different, you can't rule anything out until you have gone through one step at a time...if it still happens when scripts are disabled as well, then yes you do have merit, but until you can be 100% sure, then don't rule anything out.

Using different script combination won't be if scripts are causing the problem as then the developer can then improve the script. It's like

Just a query about the hardware problem, have you tested you hard drive for bad sectors? just a bit of a side question on it that's all as I think you hard drive could be part of the problem :P

I haven't been bothered to re-enable my scripts for the past week, and it's still been happening.  Yesterday it did it 6 times in a row.

No, I haven't tested my hard drive for bad sectors, how do you do that?

From memory Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (link? can't seem to remember which one it is :P) has a number of them under it's Hard Drive Tool Section. Whichever tool you use it should tell you what is going on.

Ok, I'll look into that thanks... I don't think it would be my Hard drive though, possibly partly, because one time I dusted the insides of my computer, and that really helped.

See Messenger Plus! Live - Registry Settings, specifically the EnableScriptProtection setting.

Oh, cool, thanks.

Little trouble though... where is HKCU\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\?  I understand filepaths but I have no idea where HKCU is...  I understand it's something to do with the registry XD?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER is what it means and yes registry related.

Yeah, I know, I looked it up, but WHERE it is is my problem, which would be WHERE the registry is.
