O.P. Messenger Plus doesn't detect MSN Messenger
Hi, basically, the thread title is what my problem is. Since I installed WLM, then uninstalled it completely, and installed MSN 7.5, Plus doesn't detect MSN anymore...even though it's obvious MSN 7.5 is installed. I've tried uninstalling Messenger Plus! then reinstalling it, which didn't work at all. I'm clueless as to what's wrong.
System: Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2 (English language)
Not sure what version of Messenger Plus! I'm using because I can't even check, due to the problem I'm having. It's the latest released version, as far as I know.

RE: Messenger Plus doesn't detect MSN Messenger
press ctrl+alt+del and make sure the msgplus.exe process is running... If it isn't, go into your program files--->messenger plus... then run the executable file and then completely exit and reopen MSN Messenger.

O.P. RE: Messenger Plus doesn't detect MSN Messenger
When I try to open Messenger Plus, I get an error message saying: "Sorry, but you must have Messenger 4.6 (mininum) installed on your system for Messenger Plus! to work properly" then it closes the process itself. So, any ideas what to do, the only thing I can think of is a reformat of the HD and start clean, which would be tedious.

RE: Messenger Plus doesn't detect MSN Messenger
Try this:
Uninstall MSN Messenger 7.5 + Messenger Plus! (Make SURE you're using the latest version available, 3.63.148). Reboot your system, then install the latest version of MSN Messenger 7.5 (Might even want to try a fresh download, http://messenger.msn.com). Then install Messenger Plus! and see if that works.

In my opinion you're better off waiting the month (or so) till it's all public... I mean... wiping your hard drive kinda sucks ass even if you back up a lot of stuff
