Seemingly out of the blue (i.e., I had not installed/uninstalled anything recently), MsgPlus stopped working, indicating "Software Not Loaded..." on the Plus! menu. I have tried all of the solutions in the forums (i.e., uninstalling/deleting/re-downloading/re-installing both WLM and MsgPlus with firewalls/antivirus disabled) to no avail. I have never had SweetIM and/or SmileyCentral installed.

Here's the twist: After installing MsgPlus, iTunes repeatedly comes to the foreground every few seconds (it's happened at least a dozen times in the time I've been typing this message--what a pain in the a$$!), as if some script is controlling it. Even if I close iTunes and re-open it, this keeps happening. However, if I close WLM or uninstall MsgPlus, the behavior stops.

I've REALLY tried everything suggested in the forums, short solutions, long solutions, etc., so please don't give me a bunch of links to other postings and ask me if I've uninstalled SmileyWhatever. This has been a problem for me for months with different versions of WLM and MsgPlus--I thought it had been solved with the latest versions, but then it happened again starting a few days ago. There's obviously a conflict between MsgPlus and something that a lot of us are running. I'll gladly be a "guinnea pig" and help someone who knows about the inner workings of MsgPlus debug the problem (I'm a software developer myself) if it will help. MsgPlus is a great program, and I really hate not having it. Please help, and let me know what I can do to help solve this problem!!

Same problem under my Vista home premium box.

All works fine today and bang, Software Not Loaded after Vista reboot. No spyware, no virus, no software installation and no SweetIM and/or SmileyCentral installed.

Thanx in advance.

It has to be one of the programs that run at the start-up. If you have some time, could you try disablign some (with msconfig for example) to find the culpirit? I'd like to know what software is causing problems so that I can reproduce the error.

Thanks

Okay, thanx Patchou, I will try this tomorrow.

Hummm, tested this solution and don't work.

Thanks.

I too am encountering this problem, it was fine until a week or so ago, and then it stopped working completely. I have turned off all non-essential programs loading at start-up and it still does not work.

I am running Vista Ultimate and NOD32 (but have never had a problem until recently)

Any further suggestions? FYI I have uninstalled both MSN and Pessenger Plus and then reinstalled them again with the same result, when M+ is installed it starts MSN but shows as not loaded

M+ version is 4.23.0.276 and Messenger is 8.1 (8.1.0178.00)

Please help I miss the scripts and tabbed chats (tabbed chats especially as I use this feature a lot)

just as a test, try disabling UAC and reinstalling plus!.

Sorry didnt work, however disabling UAC permanently is something I will not even consider, whether it works or not. It worked before without disabling UAC so it should work now, nothing has changed AFAIK
