Like alot of ppl I am testing the public beta of msn messenger. But my computer went crazy and I had to reformat. When I reinstalled my windows I went to download Messenger Plus! again but guess what! As soon as it was on my computer nothing happened. I double clicked it and the installer didnt load. Instead I heard an error noise with NO error message. I contacted Microsoft support but they are the slowest ppl I have ever met. I guessed that it would be 100% more worthwhile to come here and ask how to get it to work.

Also empty your browser's Temporary Internet Files/cache.

I just reformated..its empty...

Out of curiosity, the Messenger Plus! installer icon, is it the normal multicolour butterfly with the exclamation point inside of it?

If it is I will email Patchou and he may send you the beta because it creates a dump file for installation and then if it fails he could see if it is Messenger Plus! or Windows.

Now are you using any type of Download Manager to "speed" up the downloads? If so try and disable it.

Have you tried both the Full Public Release of Messenger Plus! from http://msgplus.net and the Beta located on these forums?

a. yes it is the normal one..I used to have it on cd...put it on the computer and it still woudlnt read.
b.No download manager..those usually make things slower
c. Yes I have tried both I had both on cd. Nothing works. Its really weird.

I know if may sound very simplistic but did you try restarting your computer?

of course.
and IM DIEING WITHOUT PLUS

[off topic] nice site Patchou www.patchou.com ...hehehe [/off topic]

Have any antivirus software or anti-spyware software running?

Temporarely disable it then if plus! installs correctly, re-enable your protection.
