Hmm.. well I still have the Program Files\Messenger folder including the exe file . If the msmsgs.exe file is running in the background, does it show the Windows Messenger icon in the system tray?

No, it will not appear in system tray (just in the Processes list of Task Manager).

I un-installed TP 1.1.06, and re-installed version 1.1.04 Beta, but now find the Transfer never works, if I try to send a file, the other person gets the text info in their MSN Messenger chat window as if a transfer is about to take place, along with the Windows "Chord" sound (indicating a problem?) at my side the Transfer window that opens is just left with "Awaiting connection..." message, and it goes no further?!

That's strange, I've uninstalled 1.1.06 and installed 1.1.04 several times and it works fine Maybe it's just a problem in your Connection settings, since the status stays at "Awaiting connection".

I found having Removed Windows Messenger I no longer received Messenger spam via the Net.   I have MSN Messenger running on my PC all the time, yet no longer receive Messenger Spam, so I've no intention of putting Windows Messenger back on my Puter!!

(I used xp-AntiSpy, not just Add/Remove Programs which only seems to remove the short-cut for this app? further more, xp-AntiSpy shows the removal of Windows Messenger and the Messaging System as two separate processes?)

I can't say I've found ANY part of MSN Messenger that won't work due to the absence of Windows Messenger on my system?

There is a little confusion here: the Messenger service is not related in any way to Windows Messenger, they just have a similar name. I think you need Windows Messenger in order to use whiteboard and application sharing in MSN Messenger. I ask you again to read the whole post by CookieRevised, http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=26...d=258821#pid258821, since it explains everything about Messenger service and Windows Messenger (including how to remove Windows Messenger without causing problems to plugins).

---

He may have to use "passive mode" in order to send files. A best approach would be opening at least port 8030 (but opening all range is recommended) for inbound TCP, and let Transfer Plus have outgoing traffic to any port. There is a full explanation about this under Troubleshooting section of help (in 1.1.06).

but I found the correctly way to fix this problem by your hint!
control panel,Regional and Language Options,"Details".
There is a explain like ....Selection of language that doesn't unicode-corresponded(don't know how it's exactly written in English).
Mine was Japanese selected,I set it to English.That worked!

Thanks for letting me know about it. I got that workaround from another user which has the same problem. However I dont have Japanese language installed, so I couldnt test it. I am trying to find the cause of the problem to see if I can get it fixed.
