That's something Underlord has said, not me.

And Underlord meant:
If it is still not showing up in Messenger after you reboot your PC, but it has loaded and hooked when you reinstall it then go into Plus! --> Preferences --> Miscellanous and select Force Messenger Plus! to load when computer starts.

No, Plus! can still be running (or being installed for that matter) without you seeing a menu. Do as Underlord suggested. When you boot up your PC, and without reinstalling Plus! first, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and check if there is a process named msgplus.exe. If not, then check your registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
for any entries of Messenger Plus!.

Also, another question, do you have administration rights on your account where you want to use Plus!.

Also, look at the directory where you previously installed Messenger Plus!, is it still there...

In short, answer these questions one by one, without reinstalling Plus! first:
1) Do you have a process names msgplus.exe after a reboot
2) Is Messenger Plus! listed in one of the run-sections of the registry
3) Do you have administration rights on the account where you want to use Plus!.
4) Is the directory of Messenger Plus! still there after rebooting.



msgplus.exe isn't located in the CTRL+ALT+DEL thing at all. Not even when I've re-installed Plus! and have it running, for that matter.

I don't know what a registry is... Sorry if I'm ignorant/naive or something, but I honestly have *no* idea as to what you're referring to. Additionally, I don't know what you mean by "Administration Rights." This computer only has one user, the one that both my mother and I run off of.. so... ? I don't know what that means.

1) Nope.
2) I don't know. >.<
3) My guess is yes, since this computer has one user, one internet sign-on name.. etc.
4) I'll edit this comment to answer this question after I'm done doing what I'm currently doing. =)

Look into the processes tab. Don't look into the application tab.

Oh, sorry... Well do this:
1) Press your Windows Start button
2) Click on Run
3) Type: regedit
4) Press enter, and the registry editor will be started up. Now navigate to the following keys. You'll find that the structure is a simple (but big) tree-like structure, so this shouldn't be the problem:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
5) When you're there, look in the right window and look if you can find a listing named "MessengerPlus3"
6) So do this for the both registry paths given in step 4.

It indeed proberly means your account has administrating right. Administrating rights mean that you have to most "power" over other accounts on your PC and can configure and do anything (eg: if you're admin, you could restrict other accounts from using certain programs)

ME isn't like XP at all, there are no tabs.

Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry, there's "MessengerPlus" but it's not "MessengerPlus3" ... Hmmm.
Under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry, there *is* "MessengerPlus3."

I'm pretty sure that's another XP thing...
