O.P. Trying to Use Colors...
I had MsgPlus for ever...and one day the colors wouldnt work any more, because when i tried to change the colors of my name, it said

The Display Name you chose was Invaild. Please choose another display name and try again.

Now i dont know why its doing this. I have Msn Messenger 6.2 like all of my friends, and they all use colors. Im using XP home with a cable connection...i love msg plus...ANY HELP?!?

Update Messenger Plus!: http://www.msgplus.net/ ;)

The colorcodes were changed in one of the previous versions because MSN has blocked the old colorcodes IIRC, so that's why you get that message....

You are not doing exactly as I pointed out :)
You need to do all of this in a conversation window, as I showed in the images. There is no need to click OK anywhere :)
