I don't know what to do!!! by Webstern on 02-28-2006 at 08:24 AM
Hi I'm new to Messenger Plus and my name is Alex but please call me 'Webstern'.
Everytime I want to use Messenger Plus I have to install it everytime but I don't know if thats what you have to do.
Please tell me how to make it stay on? instead of installing it all the time

Are you installing it on an administrator account or on a restricted users account?
RE: I don't know what to do!!! by Webstern on 02-28-2006 at 08:31 AM
what do you mean?
RE: I don't know what to do!!! by _Humphreys on 02-28-2006 at 08:33 AM
He means are you trying to install Messenger Plus! on a restricted User on Windows XP. e.g. You can have an admin account or a restricted one.
If you have no users and Windows automatically starts to Windows when you turn it on most likley your using Windows 98 or an earlier OS. Please note that Plus! is not 100% compatiable with Windows 95.

Please search first before posting 
.
It's not that Messenger Plus! is uninstalled everytime you restart your computer, it's just that it doesnt run/hook when needed. You should try the "alternate hooking" mode.
To do so, first run Messenger Plus!, so open your windows explorer and go to C:/Program Files/Messenger plus! 3 (or wherever you installed it 
), and double click the msgplus.exe file.
Now close and reopen your contact list and the plus! menu should be there. Now go to Plus > preferences > miscellaneous. Under Messenger Plus! Automatic Recovery Options, set it to "Alternate". This should solve your problem .

if so, then you SHOULD have the miscelaneos tab, just look at this picture:
in the highlighted menu, select "alternate mode".

Maybe it will be easier if I had one of your email address'
Yeh I went to the part (picture above) but The default mode stayed the same and I couldn't change it

I have gone to the Misc. part and were it says "Display Recovery Window..." I unclicked the box and it wouldn't let me change it and then I clicked it again but it still wouldn't let me change it so yeh.
Maybe you should give me your address for msn so it will be much easier
RE: I don't know what to do!!! by Chrono on 02-28-2006 at 09:14 AM
what about closing and reopening the preferences? You should keep that option checked anyway 
. But even if it's not checked, you should still be able to click on the menu that is down there and select "alternate mode", i mean, i just tried
