RE: I Can't Uninstall
What version of windows are you using? Do you have admin rights in the account that you're using? My suggestion: Install plus with the same account that you used the first time and then uninstall it from there. That should work.

However, if you just want to uninstall the sponsor program, and you really can't uninstall plus, search the forums. There is a link somewhere to a program to uninstall it.

Try running the plus! installation again, this may add the uninstall feature.

download a program called regcleaner. Delete the msgplus directory in program files and run regcleaner and full a full clean for bad files. this will clean up the files that msgplus used as they wont be registered to the program anymore if u deleted the directory of it. hope that helps

If Messenger Plus! doesn't appear in your Add/Remove panel, it's probably because you didn't have admin rights when you installed it. In that case, itcreated an shortcut in your Start menu to uninstall the software.

And if you can't find that link then:

1) Click on Start.
2) Click on Run.
3) Type: "c:\program files\messenger plus! 3\msgplus.exe" /uninstall
the path may be different though, make sure you type the correct path.
4) and press enter
