encrypted files, i cant open by encoding on 04-06-2007 at 11:28 AM

Hi,
i had to format my operating system without back-up. I undeleted my log files which is encrypted by Messenger Plus.
Even if i know the password i cant open them.

I get 2 errors while I'm trying to open them

-in the first error, Messenger Plus log viewer doesnt ask me to enter a password, just ask "do you want to open or download this file" when i click open, i face another log viewer which asks the same question.

-in the second error i can write my password, "An error occured while trying to decrypt your file. Please reboot or try again on another computer.

What will i do ? Thanks for any reply.

There was a reason given as to why this is the case (can't seem to find the thread at the moment), but it went along the lines of, because you formatted your computer, you weill no longer be able to access your chat logs regardless if the windows account names are the same as before or whatever. Therefore, it renders you logs useless and deletion is the path to be taken.

If I find the thread I will post it here.

I've formatted my PC zillion times, and I can still open my encrypted logs from 2003.
