I think this all started on January 1st 2005. So that could be the cause...

I started (again) getting this annoying error when I tried to open my encrypted log files.

quote:

---

The file hasn't been encrypted by Messenger Plus! (or the file is corrupted)

If you get the problem only with one or two logs, then the files are probably really messed up... is that your case?

yes, only a few of them are corrupted. But I never did anything special with them. Why would those 2-3 particular logs get messed up. ?

Is there a way to fix this ?

Fraisie, anyone ?

could be a hard disk problem for example.. email me the logs, I'll tell you if the bug comes from Plus! or from your computer (mplus@patchou.com).

Hey Patchou,

I sent you an email with an attached log 2 days ago and I haven't got a reply yet.  So I'm wondering if you've received it or not.

got it, thx... its now on my todo list, dont worry, I'll check the problem as soon as possible

That's cool.

Any updates for me man ? I really need the information that's in a particular log... is there a way to fix it once it's corrupted or all hope is lost.

btw Patchou, my friend had exactly the same problem, they were asking me how to fix it on January the 2nd so it might have been possible that it happened on the 1st as well! exactly the same error message! any possible link to the dat as xplatinum has been saying?

P.s mine all seem to be working i think

It seems that has time goes by, more and more logs are getting corrupted.

I checked your log and even if the header seems valid, the file is only 680 bytes long. Is that the case for your other files too?

the other files are much larger. and my problem now is that they are all corrupted. I can't open one single logfile.

Now I moved every single log file to a temp dir so that Plus! creates brand new ones... and up to now nothing is corrupted. I still want to recover the old ones though. At least it seems to be a temporary fix.

Edit by Fraisie: Please don't double post. Edit previous post instead.

sorry for double post. just been a week and no reply... and a bump is the only way =/
