On IRC, we also had someone reporting something similar afew days ago. By uninstalling Hopper it was fixed.

The problem was that when he started Messenger, Messenger freezed and did nothing for about 5-10 secs...

After much installing/uninstalling and enabling/disabling it was determined that it was the hopper plugin.

He had Messenger 6.2.0137 and Plus! 3.01.94. Dunno what Hopper version though, nor the Windows version...

Hopper does use a huge array, so it could be the problem. I myself don't experience it though... Don't worry, the version I'm working on right now uses linked-list so it should use less memory. Right now Hopper rather interferes with SS3 and just some minutes ago I seemed to "fix" it

Theres going to be a new version of SS3 released soon, so hopefully we can get it sorted.  Any ideas how they interfere with each other?

It appears to be like this...

1. Sign in.
   
2. Use a plugin reloader to reload the plugins.
   
3. If a plugin's Initialize function contains SendMessage() API, which (for example) is used to tell Plus! to display a notification toast, SendMessage() throws an exception back. That's why the Hopper problem (in the post whose link was posted earlier above) occurs, since I use SendMessage() in Initialize() to retrieve Messenger version from Plus!.

Currently I use a stupid Callback Timer to avoid directly calling SendMessage in Initialize() and it seems to work fine...

Well, Dempsey, I don't really suppose it's Hopper only that interferes with SS3. Plugin Reloader :: The next generation by Optimism_ has this problem too (at least on my computer) as it shows "Loading plugins" toast in Initialize() and that requires SendMessage() too.

I use propery(VERSION) or something from the Messenger object to retirve the messenger version

Well, I need not only to know Messenger's version (get_property(MMESSENGERPROP_VERSION,*)), but also if the Messenger is Windows Messenger or not

ah
