O.P. Unable to start conversations
After altering some settings of plus I suddenly cannot talk to my contacts anymore. It returns "It's not possible to start a conversation with <NICKNAME> try again" (Het is niet mogelijk om een gesprek te starten met <NICKNAME>.  Probeer het opnieuw).

I tried to restore all original settings by pressing the "restore to defaults" button. That doesn't work either. The only thing is to remove msg plus from my computer.

But if I reinstall plus (I selected "remove all setings from the computer" unistalling MSG PLUS) I still can't start a conversation with my buddies.

HELP!!  I love plus  and don;t wanna be forced to remove it from my computer 4ever ! :)

BTW I'm using windows XP, MSN 6.1.0211 and PLUS 2.54.0074

OKAY THANX for the very fast reply and it worked allright :) ....

How come the uninstall program doesn't do this by default after selecting "remove all setting from the computer" ?

Its caused by the Handwritting plugin for Messenger Plus!

Please use the Search feature, its really handy :)

Hey Matty

:o I did use the Search feature ... I searched on conversation, gesprek, "try again" and "probeer het opnieuw" I couldn't think of other keywords for my problem :p.
Thanx anyway ;):P

It isn't a bug in Handwriting!...
It is because the person who gets this error didn't read the install instructions and didn't install the handwriting-plugin properly!

The creator of the handwriting plugin made version 1.1 because of this. Version 1.1 will check if you installed the plugin correctly, if you didn't, then you can't use the plugin, but you wont have the error also...

Overkill... You don't need to uninstall Plus!... and you certainly don't have to uninstall MSN Messenger...

You only had to delete the file handwriting.dll in c:\program files\messenger plus! 2\plugins... And the reason why msn messenger works again after that, is because handwriting wasn't installed properly...

major hint: read the instructions before you install something ;)

anyways: read the link Matty has given to (un)install the handwriting plugin in the proper way...
