RE: Can't run Messenger Plus!3
I think you have the handwriting plugin installed, not having that plugin installed correctly causes the errormessages you get...to install it correctly take a look at this post: Ink/Handwriting plugin everything you need to know

Hi 123helpme,

You didn't happen to install the handwriting plug-in earlier, have you? This plug-in is known to cause problems like that when installed on Windows 98/ME or other versions that (sometimes) don't support it or when it has been installed incorrectly.

If you have, try to disable it from the Plugins section in the Preferences window by disabling it (removing the checkmark). Then reboot your computer and see if the problem is fixed.

If not, close down all Messenger related applications and remove the file MsnHandWriting.dll from your Messenger Plus!\Plugins directory, most likely the default C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins.

More information can be found at http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22276, it's the link Sunshine also gave. I suggest you read that, if you haven't done so.

If you do not remember installing the handwriting plug-in, it might be wise to try the solution mentioned above as well, as it may still apply to you. If this does not solve the problem, please give more detailed information (version numbers, did it happen out of the blue) :)

I'll give you a Dutch translation then :)

Het lijkt erop dat je de handwriting-plug-in hebt geïnstalleerd. Deze staat erom bekend dit soort problemen te veroorzaken op Windows 98/ME, of andere versies (als de plug-in niet correct geïnstalleerd is).

Sluit Messenger Plus! af (Ctrl-Alt-Del en beëindig taak "MsgPlus.exe") en verwijder het bestand MsnHandWriting.dll uit de map Messenger Plus!\Plugins, waarschijnlijk de standaardmap C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins.

Start je computer opnieuw op. Mocht je dat bestand niet kunnen vinden, zoek er dan naar op je computer.

Zie voor meer informatie de Engelstalige thread die Sunshine al aangaf, http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22276.
If this doesn't solve your problem, do tell us :)

Ok, it worked. But this means I can't use HandWriting... Well, too bad. I hope I'll be able to use it sometime.

The handwriting plug-in only works on Windows 2000 (sometimes), XP and 2003. If you have any of the above, it could still work. You just hadn't installed it correctly.

You should take a look at Ink/Handwriting Plugin Everything you need to know right here if you have Windows 2000, XP or 2003 and wish to install it correctly.
