I got a problem with my Messenger.. I can't see the effect of my contact's name.. It's like something like this..
[c=48]AronC[/c=11]
I can't see the effect.. All I see is the code.. How can I fix this?

Install Messenger Plus! Live on your Windows Live Messenger installed computer. Those formatting tags are Messenger Plus! Live's tags and can be interpreted only by Messenger Plus! Live. If you are using old Messenger Plus! (without the Live brand) on old Messengers (Windows Messenger and MSN Messengers) then you cannot see the colors on those names. You must install Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live.

Sorry forgot to mention that I've installed Windows Live Messenger Version 8.1 (Build 8.1.0178.00) and Messenger Plus! Live Version 4.5.0.312
But this problems still occurs..

Try upgrading to Windows Live Messenger 8.5

Also, do you have either SweetIM or Smiley Central installed as these can interfere with Messenger Plus loading.

Furthermore, are you on Windows Vista as not installing Plus! as an administrator can sometimes cause it to not function properly
