Hello!

ok, I think I'm now read ready to distribute this new version to the rest of the world using my new server and the dormant auto-update feature of MP2 that you all have installed . Before that, I would like you to install this new debug version and confirm me that it works really great!

http://207.44.212.108/~admin3/MsgPlusDebug.zip

Thsi is version 2.01.22 DEBUG, that means that you must not redistribute it yet. The public release will be done by the end of the week (I know, I already said that last week, but I sincerly don't want thousands of peopel to automatically download a buggy version). Again, same thign as before... if you want to help, install this version, try different things, check if the bugs you reported some days ago are corrected and when a problem occurs, send me the "C:\MessengerPlus Dump.txt" file in a zip to debug2018@patchou.com with a godo description of the problem and the time it occured.

Anybody who had crashes in the past days: please, try out this version and if the crash comes again, don't forget to send me the dump file.... I've added more information in it to track the remaining crash problem and I'm only waiting for one of your computers to crash in order to solve it!

Thank you!!!

Only one problem now.

I have StatupMonitor by Mike Lin at http://www.mlin.net installed and now, every time Messenger Plus! v2 is started, I get a popup saying that MSNMSGS has registered to startup on Windows startup.

It's not a BIG problem but it does get annoying having to click "Yes" to allow it EVERY time I boot up.

I've only had this problem since v2.01.18? I think.

I'm running Windows XP with SP1.

If I don't start Messenger Plus! v2 every time, I do not get this message and Messenger starts up without a hitch.

mine says 2.01.21 i thought it was 22...?  it also says feb 8th maybe a restart is needed?

Mine's v2.01.22, 11 February 2003 and I didn't need to restart.

Maybe the update went haywire somewhere? Try updating again.

Yep, I guess you downloaded the file from your cache... just refresh the link .

For your problem RaveRod, it's because everytime Messenger starts, it recreates its value in the \Run key of the registry in order to ensure that it will start automatically next time Windows boots up. Messenger Plus! see this key and deletes it when Messenger exits. Instead, it uses its own key (which is not generally needed to be recreated) to launch Messenger (to ensure that Messenger Plus! is launched before MEssenger at startup).

I guess you should just configure your software so that it doesn't pop up anymore for msnmsgr.exe

just installed it, gonna start testing it out now

and also mine said v2.01.22, 11 February 2003 and I didn't need to restart.

Patchou: may it be possible that MP2 (at least 2.0.19 - Feb 6th debug version) makes Messenger log off automatically without saying so? i had this problem for some days now... but i dont know if is plus or messenger (i know many others have it too).

Great job, at least the bug i submitted was fixed, thanks patchou

Messenger Plus! 2.02 – Readme File

Is this because of the fact that the next version is going to be MP 2.02.23 or is this just a typo?

and third: What about the links to the messenger plus! site, please make them like http://msgplus.net and msgplus.net/firsttime etc, because else, when sending someone MP2, it says "If the download doesn't work, try http://msgplus.patchou.com" and that page doesn't exist, and that way, there is no use at all of that little text, if you make that http://msgplus.net ppl can see the link to the mirrors list, and then download it from thereon

Dont worry for the link, it will work soon enough... also... damit lol... don't bother the readme.txt file... it's just that the next public release will be labeled 2.02 .

Concerning logout problems, what you're saying again confirms what I'm telling you for weeks now..... if at some poitn you have a message saying that you can't change your status or whatever, well, it's because the Messenger server has some problems or because your internet connection has problems (like me at work). Again, I'll repeat myself: Messenger Plus! doesn't mess with Messenger communication precisely to avoid that kind of issue.

Patchou.
