RE: upgrading
I get a Modf error all the time now since my upgrade, didn't think it had anything 2 do with MP! upgrade, i dunno, still not sure, but it's an error from actulice or somthing i get

Edit: just looked and MsgPlusH.dll and MsgPlusH1.dll are still in the MP!2 folder, along with my plugins, also another thing, how come the registry settings are still under 'MsgPlus2' have u thawt of during the installation, look if MP!2 is installed, an if so it would rename 'MsgPlus2' in the registry 2 'MsgPlus3'?

RE: upgrading
The key in the registry stays MsgPlus2 for backward compatibility reasons. As for the problems you'Re experiencing, they may be related to security attributes. MsgPlus 3.01 fixes this problem and will be out in a few days.

RE: upgrading
My Plus!2 folder also got left after upgrading cuz plus refered to a few files that were still in use by plugins (altho they were copied to plus!3 folder during install).

I solved it as following: Whilst keeping messenger (and plus ofcourse) running i tried deleting plus!2 folder an everytime i got message of a file that couldnt be removed i wrote it down an registered the one with the same name in plus!3 folder (start, run > type in: RegSvr32 "c:\program files\messenger plus! 3\plugins\<name of dll>" ) after that closed messenger, logged in again and tried to delete plus!2 folder again until that folder could be completely removed withouth warnings of files still beeing in use.
