[Idea] Plus! Safe Mode by Supersonicdarky on 05-28-2005 at 06:31 PM
Maybe plus! should install with a safe mode. (like firefox). If you MSN messes up and refuses to load or a plug-in messes up and freezes your msn, you could be able to run it and it loads MSN without all plug-ins and undoes the skin you have (if you install one) to let you fix your problem.

How do you start firefox with this safe mode?

quote:currently, plus already does that. If an installed plugin behaves incorrectly, or crashes or does something nasty, plus will automatically disable it, and won't load that plugin the next time.

quote:1st: skins aren't loaded. Think in skins as is you were using another program than messenger. Skins modify the files (dlls and/or exe) of messenger, so they can't be unloaded. You can, however, revert to the original messenger if you kept a backup of it before installing the skin or if you repair the installation of messenger.

2nd: plus has nothing to do with skins, not even it knows you've modified your messenger and are running a skinned version of it. So if messenger crashes due to the skin, Plus isn't able to know that, so it can't do anything.,
