O.P. MsgPlus wont startup with Msn
Recently i install MsgPlus inside my computer. after installing Messenger Plus i was able to use it. I was quite happy with the MsgPlus as it provide alot of better function for me as a user but there is 1 problem with my Messenger Plus. Everytime i switch off my pc and on again, the Messenger Plus doesnt load with my msn. In the end i have to uninstall and reinstall Messenger Plus again. all the setting is gone and i have to reset it again. Currently my computer install with Microsoft antispyware and adware program. Does this 2 program conflict with the MsgPlus? how do i get my MsgPlus run on it own then i enter my winXP? any solution will be much appreciated. I getting irritated on reinstall and uninstall of the program.

Those antispyware programs are probably blocking Plus from adding itself to the startup list in the registry. Disable them (along with any other antivirus/antispyware software) temporarily and reinstall Plus. If a window pops up asking you if you want to let MsgPlus make changes in the registry, allow it to do so.

Change the attachment process:


In messenger, goto the top menu

Click Plus -> Preferences -> Miscellanious(On The Right) -> Messenger Attachment Process.


Change that to either of the other two. Such as Default Mode - Force or the alternative mode. :)

Turn off AdWatch (part of AdAware SE)/MS Antispyware temporarily and reinstall Plus! once more (some programs prevent writing in the registry).

If C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3 is still there you can restart MsgPlus! through taskmanager (ctrl alt del - 1x - file > new task..browse to Msgplus.exe). After you've done that i suggest you set the hookingmethod of Plus! to Alternate mode (click link for info on how to set it properly, again make sure AdWatch/MS AntiSpyware is not preventing writing in the registry whilst setting this). Incase there is any program interfering with Plus! this is the prefered hooking method.
