well, come to find out, it does not work for one of my friends also, and she does use a regular name, no special characters in it or anything, so it is really weird, it does work for other people though, and me, so i will have to think about this one, thanks for bringing this up

If you want to send me a debug version of the script that displays the two variables being compared in the IF statement, I'd be happy to run it and report back.

i found a fix to this problem, and will release version 2 of my script in a few days possibly. Hopefully it will have no problems.

what to look for in the next versions:

* /command to turn on/off the script
* A menu to allow you to easily change the sound that the script makes
* an option to have different sounds for different contacts

its going to be hard, but it can be done

hi im having trouble with the echo wen the messege box is hidden, ive put a sound in there that i want, which works, but at the beggining of it it will play the old sound then the sound which i have put in there
can you help!!!

did you go into the regular windows live messenger options and then go to "alerts and sounds" and uncheck "new message"?

about the update i was talking about above, sorry about that, i've been a little busy with other things

I cannot get this script to work either.  I am running Windows Live Messenger Version 2008 (Build 8.55.1302.1018).  I have this same script running on other computers in the house. 

I really like it making sounds when the window has focus, as I can walk away and still know when someone sends a message.

You talked about a new version (about a year ago).  Just wondering if the new version is ready? 

Thanks,

im sorry man, but i dont do scripts anymore, and no i haven't got around to making a new version, other things came up : (

hope you fix your issue though : )

New version by me attached below. No need to disable New Message Alert anymore. Nothing new though, unless I decide to expand it.

cool man

i was always somewhat of a noob at scripts anyway

I've started to rewrite it with a config window. Everything is almost finished, just a few errors that need fixing.
