1. Uninstall Windows Messenger completely (by going to "add/remove programs")...

I say this because Windows Messenger 5.1.0701 is relative new (from sept 16th) and it could be possible that it interfears with Plus! for some sort of reason. But this said, if you never start up Windows Messenger, it also can't give a problem in the first place....
