RE: Old chat logs not showing up - how to fix?
Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live can save your conversations to hard drive seperately but in different default directories. You started to understand the problem now, didn't you???
Messenger Plus! Live can save your chats in either HTML or TXT files. But as far as I know Windows Live Messenger can save them only in XML files.
I understand that you made Plus! to save your new conversations to the same directory of Plus! so they are resuming.
But Windows Live Messenger saves them in a new directory because you have switched to a new Windows account. It was saving them under, for example, C:\Documents and Settings\old account\Recevied Files\your messenger e-mail address, but it is saving them now under C:\Documents and Settings\new account\Received Files\your messenger e-mail address. So I believe you can still reach the old files from the first path I wrote.
But if you ask me, while saving them with Plus!, you don't need WLM's own logs.
