Here is my Msn flash updated for messenger plus live !

What it does is turns on and off the comm port while you have a message. So if you attach a led to the comm port it will blink and alert you that you have a message. Very usefull in games or when youre away from the computer.


Instructions:
----------------------
Have messenger plus live installed and execute the script

You will need MSCOMM32.OCX and it has to be registerd, so copy it to to C:\Windows\system32\
and then run regsvr32 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSCOMM32.OCX"


How to hook up the led:
----------------------
Make sure it is hooked up to Com port 1 (I only have one on my comp so i cant test it)
An led has a positive(longer lead) and a negative lead what you do is connect the positive pin to
the 4 pin and the negative to the 3 pin

Note: The cable that i am using is a crossover type cable so it might not be exactly like yours.
Do not be afraid try different pins if it doesnt work for you.
