Today I installed the lastest version of Messenger Plus! 3.50. It seems to be everything correct. But I noticed a severe problem: every time I restart my pc is like I didn't install previously Messenger Plus!. That is to say that I have to reinstall Messenger Plus! everytime I start my pc.

What is happening?

Thanks

Try to make a shortcut of the MsgPlus.exe file and put it in your startup folder (Start => Programs => Startup). That should make it work when you restart.

If C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\ exists, then it's not uninstalled (programs do not uninstall themselves).

Also, make sure you're on an account with admin priviledges (on your computer).

Olá! Hi.

I have the totally admin privileges.

I never said that the program unistalled itself. I simply said that the program do not start automaticaly with MSN Messenger as it used to be. In previous versions I did not have any problem.

What may be causing this problem?

Muchas gracias,

Thanks,

Um, it happens from time to time.

When you can configure it (when Messenger Plus! is running), go to the main MSNM window => Plus! => Preferences... => Miscellaneus => "Force Messenger Plus! to load when computer starts"

Did you also try the other way I told you?

maybe your computer is set up that was because my computers at school are set so you can install andthing and do whatever you want but after they are restarted they go back to the way they were set and everything that was saved and installed it deleted

This shoul be a bug. In previous versions of Messenger Plus I did not get this problem.

I uninstall the program, clean the registry, download the program again form Messenger Plus home page, and made a new clean install. Result: the same problem!

So, as tip of Leo, now i selected «Force Messenger Plus! to load when computer starts», so I will see what is going to happen...

I must remenber this again: in the previous version, there were not this kind of problem.

Thanks ,

Kind regards.

I wouldn't exactly call it a bug since it is only happening to one person. If only one person is having the problem, it's more than likely something not chose right by that person.

a friend of mine has it too.. dont know the specs (i think XP)

Hi!

After trying every tips gave here, nothing worked out. It must be a bug!

Wind XP Pro SP1
MS Messenger 6.2.0205
Messenger Plus 3.50. 124

Try upgrading to service pack 2, and do you get any error message in MSN? like an option to Debug MSN or anything or does it just not appear?
