get v3.0.18.21 and tell me if it still crashes for you

Let me explain to you what is now happening:

I had the previos version installed but disable (in the script MP!L panel), I downloaded and installeded your last release over the previous one and as Keikonium wrote almost nothing were working... Then I got an idea of unistalling all the enhancer... and erase all the enhancer folder... and I reinstalled the script... then I signed in (I sign in in Offline status always) and all (I think) were working... actually better than always and faster... I made the script config and then when I changed my status to online my wlm crashed again... I closed and when I signed in again nothing were working again...

If you want I can tell you which preferences I have check and wich not... PM me...

UPDATE: I even noticed that always enhancer setup close the wlm and reload it... this release didn't do that... and if you see the about windows the version says "undifined"

UPDATE2:
My info is this:

StuffPlug Version 3.0.249
MsgPlus Version 4.11.0.254
Windows Live Messenger Version 8.1.0168.00
Operating System Windows XP

If you want a list of my scripts installed... jus let me know...

For me, everything works great
except close button in preferences

I use WLM 8.1.0168.00
and MP! 4.11.0.254

My setup is almost the same as warmth:

StuffPlug Version 3.0.286 (this is the exception)
MsgPlus Version 4.11.0.254
Windows Live Messenger Version 8.1.0168.00
Operating System Windows XP Home

Still doesn't work .

Hmmm
maybe there is an incompatibility with StuffPlug then, please try without StuffPlug and tell me if you are using 32bit or 64bit Windows

yeah the full screen issue annoys me as well... i'll try to resolve it.

i have last wlm beta, last mp!live version, stuffplug and xp pro.
but even without stuffplug it doesn't work at all!

I unistalled the Stuffplug and was the same history... but maybe I missed some info that now I saw can be the problem... When I installed your script I went into the LE preferences and I changed the tooltip display form... original is:

code:

---

%origianal%
email: %email%

---

and I changed to:

code:

---

WLM - %email% (%status%)

---

then all the problems begin to show...

Update: can you please explain to me what the auto hide feature does??? cuase I think I know what does... but I can find how to see it working cause I have the autoclose feature turned on en 10 seconds and auto hide en 3 seconds...

Update 2: 32 bits...

if you go here
http://ioannis.mpsounds.net/blog/?page_id=3&page=2
will will see some pictures from the old version of the plugin... but the auto-hide feature is the same

What the auto-hide feature actually does is that it will put your contactlist window to any edge of the screen to a 2pixel strip (so it will be out of your way) and then you can restore the window by hovering the mouse over that 2pixel strip (like teh animated picture.

For auto-hide to work thou the contactlist must be attached to one of the edges, auto-hide must be selected from the preferences obvioulsy AND the window menubar SHOULD be hidden (if the menu bar is visible then it will prevent the window from auto-hidding to the screen edge.

I found the error for me. If I use the %status% tag in the tooltip, then the script doesn't work. Removing the %status% has fixed all the problems, and it hasn't acted up since .

I have the setup I described above, and its 32-bit windows XP home .

so is the %status% tag the problem... nice Keikonium that we found the bug!

well i get the status from the original tooltip string so you should not have any other script / plugin modifying the tooltip string...

The issue was caused when searching for " - " in that string to separate "Windows Live Messenger" from the status string...
if no " - " was found there was an access violation due to an invalid pointer. So now in cases where the " - " is not found ... thus in cases where the string is "Connection Error" (i could not find any other string) %status% will be the same as %original%

The reason i am using the original string is because i intercept whenever the string is being changed by messenger as i cannot reliably deduce the actuall current status on status changing... (with current code)

i have also worked on the fullscreen issue but i am not sure how it works on multiple screens (monitors) because i replaced my old gfx card that i could hook my 14'' tv on

ah, fixed the close button issue as well

I uploaded v3.0.19.23 so check for updates ...
