tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-02-2009 at 06:56 AM

it is said it will be fixed in this version?

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by djdannyp on 02-02-2009 at 07:01 AM

This has definitely been fixed.

Can you send (!VER) on messenger and copy and paste the outcome here please?

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-02-2009 at 09:40 AM

do you mean this?

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by djdannyp on 02-02-2009 at 09:41 AM

Hmm, yes, you do have the right version.

I suggest you try uninstalling Messenger and Messenger Plus and re-installing them both.

We haven't had any other reports of the problem persisting.

Are you using a skin on messenger or a theme on windows?

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-02-2009 at 10:32 AM

no skin on wlm and just vista aero if that counts on my real vista?

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by MattyRid on 02-02-2009 at 10:35 AM

what about any other Messenger Addon-ons or patches?

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-02-2009 at 11:17 AM

a-patch, though patchou has said the incompatibilities will be fixed in 4.8 so there's no interference

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by djdannyp on 02-02-2009 at 12:05 PM

Try uninstalling A-Patch and seeing if it makes any difference.

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by MersauX on 02-02-2009 at 05:48 PM

I have A-Patch installed and everything works fine, tabs aren't hidden under the menu bar.

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by robert_dll on 02-02-2009 at 08:17 PM

Better to uninstall and reinstall everything (WLM/Plus!/A-Patch)

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-03-2009 at 09:44 AM

do i need zap messenger? if so i'll need a link

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by djdannyp on 02-03-2009 at 09:57 AM

You should just be able to uninstall Messenger by Add/Remove Programs (Programs & Features on Vista)

It will be called 'Windows Live Essentials"

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by Moh on 02-03-2009 at 09:58 AM

There. http://irc.msgplus.net/~jkay/ZapMessenger.zip It doesnt remove A-patch though so make sure you uninstall it yourself.

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-05-2009 at 06:24 AM

i can't uninstall a-patch so im not sure how to uninstall it, there's no button in control panel

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-05-2009 at 07:12 AM

i've zapped messenger and reinstalled but i couldn't uninstall apatch and now it's still not fixed since the patch uninstalls itself when you uninstall messenger, i use vista x86 btw

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by djdannyp on 02-05-2009 at 09:42 AM

Have you re-installed Messenger Plus?

Can you post a screenshot of a conversation with the bug happening in which you've sent (!VER) so that we can check your versions of everything?

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-05-2009 at 10:31 AM

i've reinstalled plus and wlm so i don't know what's the problem

uh your tabs dont appear to be hidden....

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by djdannyp on 02-05-2009 at 10:39 AM

The tabs are visible in that screenshot though...you aren't showing the menubar

And you haven't sent (!VER) in the conversation so we can check your versions

(Can't it be a problem with transparency??)

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-06-2009 at 05:35 AM

To get the toolbar, you can either press Alt, or to have it there permanently, activate the following option:

i'm not talking about that toolbar, i'm talking about the one with games, call, webcam. file etc. whenever i have one conversation up then a new person talks to me it disappears like seen the pic above, i can't see the call, games, etc.

AFAIK, you cant do anything about that. It has nothing to do with Plus!, but WLM itself. IIRC, once you open it for each contact, it wont close until you close it yourself, but you have to manually open it for each contact first.

Tabbed Chatting works, thank you.

But... where are the Close-Buttons for each Tab?
If I want cancel a Chat, I must click the X, but some Times ago every one Tab had a single-button for that.

Sorry for my poor english...

How to solve it:

Close ALL of your conversations

Open one conversation

Click the little arrow to SHOW the icon bar

Close that conversation

From now on all of your conversations will show with the icon bar visible

AFAIK there has never been a 'close' button for an individual tab, the 'X' in the top corner has always been used to close a tab, rather than a 'x' on the tab itself like in IE/FF

This has been suggested, however

RE: tabs are still hidden under menu bar in 4.8 by vistauser69 on 02-07-2009 at 11:37 PM

i think i did it but it still doesn't work? i closed all my conversations, then opened up one conversation and i clicked that little arrow in the right hand corner right beneath the X is that correct then i closed it and it didn't work

No.

When you move your mouse into the 'scene' area at the top of the conversation window you will see the little downwards arrow showing in the CENTRE of the screen. If you move your mouse towards it and click it the button bar will become visible.

Use the steps I listed above to ensure that all of your future conversations open with this enabled
