Type/Write option by lucschick on 03-30-2005 at 12:33 AM
Hi, ok I don't know if this is a plus option, but I think it is. My boyfriend has a type/write option in his message window... we have the exact same versions of Messenger and Plus and I don't have it, and would like help ... how can I get it??

Please note that handwriting is only available in Windows 2000 and above. It will not work on Windows Millenium/98se.

If you're using MSN Messenger 7, you don't need the full plugin anymore. MSN Messenger 7 already has support for handwriting build-in. To activate it you need the Ink Redistributables and they can be downloaded from: http://www.kaonet.net/files/msn/InkRedist.zip
If you're using MSN Messenger 6, then besides the Ink Redistributables you also need a Messenger Plus! plugin to enable the handwriting feature. This can be downloaded directly from this link: HandWriting_without_convert.zip (535.09 KB)
Note 1: Handwriting is designed only for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It was not specifically designed for Windows 2000, but it may work. This means it is also possible that for your Windows 2000 system it doesn't work! It will certainly not work on Windows 98(se) or Windows ME.
Note 2: When you install the Ink Redistributables (weither it is alone or with the plugin), you need to install them with the option "For Everybody" ticked, otherwise it will not work.
Note 3: the convert button will still not work after you've installed the Ink Redistributables and/or the full plugin. For this you need to install another DLL which you can find here together with installaltion instructions: http://www.mongfish.com/msnmsgr/ (read the instructions first). With the convert button you can write text with your mouse and it will be automatically converted to typed text.
