Basically yes, but they may have other modifications too, for example, the one I'm using right now has also been patched so you can run multiple instances.

even then... banned-patch, polygamy, a few extra menus... those don't matter

You never know what has been modified...

I have quite a few plugins:
Audiator 3
Broomop's
ColorNick v2
HandWriting Enabler
Matrix Sounds
Mike's l33tifier
Monty Python Sounds
Random Quote
RDM Speech for Messenger Plus!
Red Dwarf Sounds
Screenshot Sender 3
StuffPlug-NG
Worm Sounds

I have 2 that aren't loaded:
Moody
mppluginhopsi

The only things I have running in the background is my Antivirus software.

The reason for this problem is probably related to your tooltips... when you over on a contact in your list, do you get a tooltip with the email written inside it? (you wouldn't imagine what tricks Plus! uses sometimes to achieve its goals ). In the worstcase scenario, you can always right click on a contact and use the options from the "Messenger Plus! Extra" sub-menu.

well i'll be darned...i didnt know you could right-click and get the same effects as the plus! logo cheers patchou! keep up the good work!

Have you tried closing Messenger, moving your plugins to another directory and then restarting Messenger? If it works then it's some plugin's fault.

I use Futuristic MSN X 6.1, and Plus! works, so for future reference I don't think that the skin is the problem.

There are a number of things that could cause this, I would just save your MsgPlus settings and contact list, then remove both msn messenger and Messenger Plus:


Disable un-nessessary tasks, by the looks of your taskbar you have alot of resources running, those are applications that all use memory, and sometimes drivers, turn them off at startup unless your really fond it the app and run it constantly this will free memory, and avoid some conflicts.

Reboot system

Download the Latest version of Msn Messenger click Here

Install Msn Messenger

Open Msn Messenger, set it up remove the tabs go through the basic settings and apply new settings

Close Msn Messenger

Download the latest version of MessengerPlus Here


Install MessengerPlus and and initial setup, save and close the popup, and close msn if its launched automatically

Reboot again, this will clean temporary and clear memory, this will allow both programs to finish there installation completly, some programs such as MessengerPlus, usebackground tasks, pr drivers, this will not be registered 100% until your next shutdown, or startup

Launch and login to MsnMessenger

Test to see if the feature is now working that wasnt, and based on your finding, (which I assume it works now) proceed to go through the Messenger plus preferences, and restore your MessengerPlusState as you had it before, thats the file u saved that remembers most of the settings

If all still well, apply the skin u want, and test the feature again, buddys right its just not a image, its a "plugin" meaning its like a task and does have code thats updated and runs in the interupt , so a conflict is possible. keep adding the stuff you want until you identify the problem, keep in mind plugins have a habbit by nature of not being compatible with each other alot moreso then a standalone, plugin ,this can cause crashes when 2 plugins are modifing the same thing.

Enjoy! Remember, you should read the authors documentation on the plugin, they know there code and are usually aware of potential conflicts and issues.
