Compressing the exe? hum... I don't know what you meant by that but it seems dangerous . Plus! doesn't have any direct relation with the size of the Messenger files, I guess you jsut broke something

It does sound dangerous

How did you compress the .exe and if it's compressed it would be smaller but take longer to process wouldnt it as it would have to uncompress to it's normal size to be used ?

I wanna know why you did it I'm not sure your worried about the size of the file, its only 4.46mb, not exactly big and something to be worried about

why would anyone want to compress the .exe?

You could try any .exe and you should only have tested it on backup version if you were testing it on that...Microsoft know what they're doing or they'd compress it themselves.

I guess i didn't make myself clear enough MSN Still worked, Plus! still hooked, just the commands didn't respond, (obviously i am going to try it on a back up version, I am not that stupid come on, I am a tech )

I compressed Messenger just fine, and everything worked...

Of course, this is just the normal NTFS compression that comes with XP
