i have messenger plus version 3.63.148 - April 4th 2006 and MSN messenger version 7.5 (Build 7.5.0324) the problem i am facing is that after i install messenger plus it works fine for a couple of days and then all of a sudden it stops working and under the 'Plus!' section in the messenger toolbar the only option i get is that of compatibility issues where it says there is a fatal error and messenger plus is not compatible with this version of Msn messenger after that i re-install it starts to work again and after some days the problem comes back to haunt me .. can any1 give me a solution to this problem

Try switching the hook method to Default-Forced or Alternative.

where can i find the hook method

Preferences.

well unfortunately i was not able to find hook in preferences hence i asked you where is it so if its not much trouble i humbly request you to please tell me under which tab in preferences can i find the hook option

Ah, sorry. General Options tab, Miscellaneous button. Hook method should at the bottom of that page

tried that but it did not help the problem still persists

Have you patched your Messenger at all? Are you running add-ons like Smiley Central? If so, they may be interfering.

all i have is messenger discovery x and messenger plus

I had this problem with msg plus live 3.x and I believed I reinstalled windows messenger (not the live one) and it worked
