Hi, I'm not sure if this problem was posted before so I'll post it myself (although I have checked several pages of threads in this section).

I'm running the latest version of MSN and Messenger Plus - 6.2 and 3 respectively, on a Windows 98 SE operating system. Within a few minutes of starting MSN Messenger I get a window with the following error message:

Messenger Plus! Recovery

MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger is currently running without Messenger Plus! added functionalities. This generally happens when another program installed on a system behaves incorrectly. Such kind of program prevents other softwares to run properly too, not only Messenger Plus!.

The best thing to do, if you can, is to try to find out what program is causing the interferences and upgrade it (or uninstall it). Messenger Plus! is built to resist that kind of issue, please select the action you want to be performed to correct the situation.

(radio button) Repair and restart Messenger (recommended)
(radio button) Repair and try to fix permanently when computer starts
(radio button) Stop displaying this window)

/end of error message.

Here is what I have tried doing:
Using each of the 3 options stated above. Problem still occurs for the first 2, and Plus! continues not to load.
Uninstalled both MSN and Plus, then re-installed. (Just a note, this problem occurred for earlier versions of both programs too)

Does anyone have a suggestion? If i'm posting in the wrong section, I'm sorry. Feel free to move it to Bug Reports or something.

Thanks!
