Ok, i've been having this problem for a long while now, but i got sick of it!! i havent been able to fix it. Here is the thing, after some time of talking, randomly, emoticons stop showing and instead their text representation is shown, the option is STILL ENABLED to show emoticons. moreover, when i try to send a file or receive a file, the usual icon that appears or the thumbnail in the case of pics is not shown. even more, after the transfer finishes, the link (or any other URL for that matter) doesnt work, nothing happens when i click it. Last thing, with the links the first letter of the link doesnt seem to be a link (not underlined nor blue). And more, when transferring, the progress bar disappears, and if the transfer is TO ME from someone else i cant even see the name nor the thumbnail of the file, i just see the accept, reject and save as links again with the first letter not underlined

I've had msg plus since version two way back, last week i removed msgplus completely and tested messenger alone for about 2 days and the problem didnt appear so im kind of suspecting it is msgplus, my problem is not specific to this version, as i stated ive had this problem for around 1 year or maybe even more.

One last thing, the problem doesnt happen globally, it is per conversacion, like if links dont work with someone and someone else sends me something, everything is ok. If i close the conversation with weird behaviour and open it again everything works just fine. I already tried disabling logging but it didnt work, i think ive seen this happen only after long conversations, maybe is something with the chat buffer being full or something

any ideas on how to solve this freakin problem???

here is a pic of what it looks like when the bug activates while i try to send something


Im using windows XP, no SPs
MSN Messnger v7.0.0777
and Messenger plus! 3.52.130

Thanks
