and i've tried many times but it keeps repeating the same msg, now i can't msg any1 can some 1 help me llool...

You can only install it on Windows XP

ahh ic
but hmm now i can't use msn plus......
liek if i have msn plus i can't speak to any 1 unless i uninstall msn plius then i can talk

Uninstall the Ink Redistributables and then go to your plugin dir which is usually "C:\Program File\Messenger Plus!\Plugins\" and delete the dll called MsnHandWriting.dll (Make sure msn messenger is close)
And that should fix your problems

yay thx lol

Thanks for your post Sk3tch. This was invaluable to me, I installed and removed msgplus some 10/20 times, modified registries etc until I found your message. Thanks a million!

Perhaps someone should note in the plugin its for XP only

No problem, and yeh it should be mentioned more. It isnt noted to XP users only, on mess.be either, but i have notified them.

Same problem happened to me. thing is though, i AM on XP.

Edit: Restarted messenger and it works now. Typical me jumping to conclusions

You really should state this on the download page...it happened to me too and I spent two hours installing and reinstalling and uninstalling msn plus.

done, tnx sk3tch!

it also for windows 20000, thats what i uses

Can cause problems on 2000, I believe.

It is not designed for windows 2000.
It is just luck that it works, although there is no guarantee it will.

haha my friend created it and im gonna kick his ass on monday! he never told me it only works on XP!!!!
ohhhh i cant the dam uninstall file!
ahhh found it ^^

Well, i've got Xp. But it still doesn't work. Tried to reinstall it, but it came up with the same error again.

Any suggestions?

There are 2 things you need to install in the ZIP-file you've downloaded, for detailed instructions, see http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21...d=208117#pid208117

MsnHandWriting Plugin :

You must install first: InkRedist.msi or Setup.exe (it's the same)
Then... : Install ' Installer.exe '
Then....: Restart MSN
Then....: use it

************
REQUIRMENTS :

- MsnHandWriting plugin works only in Windows XP
- You cannot send handwritings to your friend if he is using Windows Messenger, so MSN Messenger (Plus!) 6.1 and up !

that's it
************

i use xp but still encounter the problem after uninstalling and installing msn messenger until i uninstall msgplus
pls help

AGAIN: There are 2 things you need to install in the ZIP-file you've downloaded, for detailed instructions, see http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21...d=208117#pid208117

PLEASE people... READ the instruction FIRST...

Yeah... and ... I think ... do you know how does it look ?

maybe they install it but just don't know how to use



If you use the plugin in the menu, it doesn't give any handwriting.
You have to change the handwriting mode : ( I put a pic )




Wanted to post this pic just not do get confused , cos when I downloaded the plugin, I hardly found where to change the mode to handwriting

i have handwriting and have not experienced such bug

hi
ireally need that program
can any one help me to get it too

You can download the Handwriting plug-in at http://plugins.msgplus.net/down/?action=file&id=70.

Look at http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22276 for very detailed instructions, if you need help

Hey!
I just installed Handwritting too. I think it's great but I would actually like to try and uninstall it because msn is not working well AT ALL for me now. I don't know if it's msn itself or my crappy network or this handwritting stuff. So it's just a testing.

So I tried to delete the pluggins in my program files, but even with msn shut down, it won't delete it. It says access denied. What could I do then to delete and uninstall this software?

Thanx for help!

you need to completely close msn messenger (right-click on its icon in the system tray and choose "exit") or kill the process msnmsgr.exe (ctrl-alt-del).

how come i can't use msn handwritting? i installed it but omggggg i tried finding Ink Redistributables  but mess.be dun work anymore.. soo where can i find Ink Redistributables  ?

Search the forum, there are already TONS of threads about it....

So, yet again:
Download The Handwriting Plugin (incl. Ink redistributables) from here:
http://www.mess.be/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=download&id=515
(you do NOT need anything else)

And read carefully the very detailed instructions here before installing:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22276
(and follow the instructions exactly.)

you can use InfoPenMSN instead.
InfoPenMSN can work on win98/me/2000/xp platforms.
you can get detail infomations from the following URL:
