1. Maybe the file was corrupted (if u use a dl manager: don't! These programs sometimes criple your download, it's ok for downloading pictures but not for installationfiles) just try again manually, if it doesnt work then either: try dl plus! from a mirror.
2. I don't know, maybe plus detected it as dl-ed an installed? =/
Does it tell u that too after u done a reboot or a restart of MSN?

RE: upgrade problem by Darkraven-SC on 09-24-2004 at 02:56 PM

choose safe to computer:u mean right click in the setup file then properties??All i casn see is only to read and hidden...As for the 1st question no i dont have a download program...and now as for the 2nd question now when i press check for updates tells me that an update available but the download stucks in 9% or 6% or ib 17% and i can only delete it by press ctrl alt-delete.....u know what i mean?

Please answer me to the whole questions here..Hope i dont make you feel tired

Sunshine means right click the file and choose to save it to your computer.

Right Click This Link

RE: upgrade problem by Darkraven-SC on 09-25-2004 at 10:04 PM

can u answer me to that?when i try to download it it stucks or tells me an error occured...Why?


RE: upgrade problem by k776 on 09-25-2004 at 10:27 PM

ok, as far as I know, msgplus installs the new files while downloading (I think.......) so plus thinks that you have installed it even though it had an error. Or it could be that you clicked yes and so thinks that it has installed. I dont know, but as far as I can tell, its fixed in the newest version :)

As for the error, there could be a number of things from slow connection, and as Sunshine stated, a download manager, or maybe your computer is regecting the download thinking it is a virus coming in (if you have a virus software or firewall installed). Or maybe spyware or adware (MsgPlus! comes with an optional sponsor package, an adware called lop). Your computer maybe be regecting it because of that.

Do what Matty. said. Once you download and install, you shouldn't have any more problems.

And try not to double post in the future please.

RE: upgrade problem by k776 on 09-25-2004 at 11:08 PM

well, it if the update thing doesn't work in the new version, then just go here:

http://www.msgplus.net/download.php

Bookmark it. Whenever a new release comes out, go to that page and click the download now button. Simple :)

No, what i ment is go to http://www.msgplus.net/ and dl msg plus! manually (dl from that site directly)...on dl u'll get the option to open or save the file.....u choose save (to comp) and once the download is finished u go to the folder u saved it in an install it from there.
