I seem to have found a problem RE: No MsgPlus without WinMessenger? by Kryptonate on 07-06-2004 at 01:11 PM
Msgplus and MSN Messenger worked fine with me without Windows Messenger for months, yesterday I had to reinstall Windows Messenger because I had to help someone with it and it's not running in the background. There's an option under Extra --> Options --> Preferences called "Run Windows Messenger on the background". Uncheck this and try again. You can also try to uninstall Windows Messenger completely. RE: No MsgPlus without WinMessenger? by Tochjo on 07-06-2004 at 01:12 PM Do you use any plug-ins that might be causing this? RE: No MsgPlus without WinMessenger? by CookieRevised on 07-06-2004 at 01:17 PM
quote:Thats because you proberly are using a plugin that needs the API from Windows Messenger (like Tochjo suggested) and because you can't simply disable Windows Messenger by the method you used and expect things to work just fine....

So I take it, its these plugins that are also causing Windows Messenger to run in the first place? RE: No MsgPlus without WinMessenger? by RaceProUK on 07-06-2004 at 02:48 PM The API is implemented by Windows Messenger true, but MSN Messenger also has them: it just uses WinMsg for the actual implementation. I've actually written a simple plugin that uses the Messenger API, and that avoids running WinMsg in the background. RE: No MsgPlus without WinMessenger? by Patchou on 07-07-2004 at 01:57 AM If plugins are written correctly, they don't use Windows Messenger. The plugin API of Messenger Plus! gives a direct access to the API, however, some plugins like the Screenshot Sender contain some bugs. RE: No MsgPlus without WinMessenger? by Darkness2k on 07-07-2004 at 10:18 AM
Yes I did have that Screenshot Sender... then I realised I never used it (or most of the plugins I've collected lol) so I've gone down to Handwriting Plugin (MsnHandWriting.dll) and RDM Speech (MSSpeechForMsgPlus.dll). RE: No MsgPlus without WinMessenger? by RaceProUK on 07-07-2004 at 01:25 PM You can't. VB has to know what's in the library in order to be able to compile the DLL. |
