Ok, i'm actually posting for my brother, he could use some help,
He has msn 7.0 the official version and also the latest Messenger Plus just like me
Now i have downloaded this plugin "gen_msn.dll" so that the song i'm playing in winamp shows up in that message thing below my name, or in the main msn window behind my name with headphones in front of it.
It works with me, but if my brother installs it it won't show the song he's playing at the moment.
We've reinstalled msn, winamp and the plugin but that didn't work..
any help would be nice?

Thanx in advance.

have you activated the plugin in msn and in winamp? i had this problem with Windows MEdia Player i had to goto the plugins section and turn on the msn messenger now playing thing

Well in msn under the name u can turn it on right? you can choose between a message and turning that on..well it's turned on there, but i don't know how to turn it on in winamp because it automaticly worked for me? So if you can tell me how i turn it on in winamp that would be very nice of you and if you also can tell me how to turn it on in media player i would be most thankfull.

Preferences > Plugins > General Purpose
If it's listed, it's loaded.

I'm not sure how to do this in winamp, but just look for the plugins section. Maybe under tools. There should be a MSN music plugin which you need to enable.

If it's not listed, how do i load it?

have a look in Plugins called TOASTER . i posted it  ,,its also on the mess.be website if he wants a different plugin  or PM mee an i might be able to file send it to you

What if it's listed in winamp and loaded in msn and it still don't work?

And how can u load a plugin into winamp without going to their site?

Ok, now i've copied my winamp map to his computer and then the song he played would show up so we thought we had fixed it..then we shut winamp and msn down cuz we were going to play a game..now he tries it again..and it stopped working?
What's wrong?

I also have this problem with Winamp. I thought I fixed when I reinstalled everything, but when I restarted my computer, it doesn't work anymore.

I've also tried using Windows Media Player and I made sure the MSN Messenger Plugin was activated.... but still no luck.

Finally, I tried iTunes as well. Nothing.

So I've tried all three, yet nothing shows up. I'm stumped.
