upon completion of windows live messenger plus 4.20 everything seemed fine and dandy... however as was found short while after... upon a system startup or similar situation that would load the diskeeper service, the service crashes unexpectedly during initialization.

this does not occur with previous versions of WLM+

and also i upgraded from Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.254

Diskeeper 2007 (11.0.698.0)

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.01.0178
Messenger Plus! Live 4.20.0.262

EDIT: this issue seems to revolve around upgrading from previous version... ive done a clean install of WLM+ 4.20 and the problem seems to not be present.

nope, this has to be delayed, this issue is still there... and i know that uninstalling MsgPlus fixes it...

when it occurs it stops me from starting the service then stopping it... upon attempting to stop it the service will crash... but this doesnt happen without msnplus.

I will check this out... this is very strange, Messenger Plus! Live should not have any effect outside of Messenger.

wait ill note the frequency of the issue for a period of 2 months, the first month with MsgPlus installed and second month without... then report back on if there is a change in the frequency.

it is rather random, sometimes i occurs and other times it doesn't... id hazard a guess at the moment at it being a heat related issue... its recently gotten very very hot here. (summer here)

thanks for keeping me up to date on this...

where can i download the previous build from? as i would now like to repeat the above steps and confirm it.
