O.P. Possible Bug - Messenger crashes
Hi, I downloaded the most recent version yesterday and my Messenger is crashing quite consistently.  Here's what I've noticed so far:

If I lock my machine or the screen saver comes on, once I come back to the desktop, my "sticky" contacts on the desktop are completely black.

If I right-click on any of the "sticky" contacts, Messenger will crash ("Windows Messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close").  Sometimes if I try to move the "sticky" window, Messenger will crash as well. 

OS: Win2K SP4
Messenger: Windows Messenger 5.0.0468  (I am limited to running Windows Messenger rather than MSN Messenger due to corporate software restrictions)
MsgPlus: 3.20.100

Thanks,
Shogo

Good point, probably doesn't make much sense.  It's really not a limitation, per se, I have full administrative privileges for my workstation.  Internally, we use Microsoft Live Communications Server which requires us to be on Windows Messenger rather than MSN Messenger.  As I recall, the two on Win2K cannot co-reside, so I'm stuck to using a single Messenger client to access both Live Communications services as well as .NET messaging services.

did you had that problem before with the other version of msgplus 3.01.94 or didn't you've had msgplus before

Note: the two on Win2K cannot "CO-RESIDE", so I'm stuck to using a single Messenger client ''TO ACCESS BOTH'' "LIVE COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES" as well as .''NET MESSAGING SERVICES''.

the things ive maked and highlighted may could have cause the problem, instead of that they work with eachother they are killing eachother and that why you messaging client crashes

I had the previous version of Messenger installed.  I apologize if my reply was not clear, I only have one version of Messenger installed - Windows Messenger.  I use it to connect to .NET Messenger and Live Communications Server.

@ Beware^^: please don't talk about that, I bet you don't know sh*t about Windows messenger.

@ ShogoC: Plus! is not designed to run on windows messenger... It works, but isn't really supported. The majority of users uses msn messenger, and that's why it's made like that. And, since you're using Windows Messenger 5 (an unsupported version! well, at least it's not on http://messenger.msn.com/ ), it might cause even more bugs.

On the downloads page, it does say that it does work with Windows Messenger version 5:

Messenger Plus! is compatible with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003 and requires MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger 4.7, 5, 6 to work properly.

I've been using it with Windows Messenger (and MSN Messenger on my personal box for a couple of years now) for at least a year and have never really had an issue.  Thanks for the help!
