Hi. I Downloaded MSN 7.0 Yesterday, Along With Plus! 3.50, But I'm Having a problem with the instant lock feature. I've always used this feature with 6.2 and I've never had a problem before. But Yesterday, When I locked my MSN, and logged out of my computer used account. [I'm using Win XP, by the way.] and someone else logged onto my computer. When I Logged back On, And Went to open my MSN, I Clicked the little icon in my Tray thing, and it was as if I Didn't click it at all. No password windows or anything came up. The Only Way I can get my messenger to work again is if I End the process and restart it, which is really pointless because then theres really no point of using the instant lock feature. Could someone please help me with this?

I've never experienced this problem, but you could first try downloading the latest  Messenger Plus! 3.52.130 version. http://www.msgplus.net/download.php

EDIT: If you logged off, MSN messenger gets ended as do all processes on your user.

No, i haven't experienced this either. Mine usally works because i do the same

Try switching users as if you log off everything ends

The shortcut for switching is Windows Key + L

By 'log off" i meant switch users..haha, Sorry for any confusion, But I've downloaded the newest version of plus, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem. It Works fine as long as noone else logs onto my computer. but if they do, it won't open.

The other users that log on, do they have msn messenger to run at startup? I'm not sure if this would affect yours, but it might cause some sort of conflict if msn is already running.

Mine works fine as i use this to change to my sister's account.

The newest version of Plus! is 3.52 so make sure you have that.

Are you running any other plugins? messenger discovery, stuffplug etc

Well, my Sister has MSN running, but She doesn't use plus. But Its always worked before, with other versions of messenger.

and no, I havn't downloaded any other plugins or anything for plus, I Normally only use it for the lock feature...and yes, I've just downloaded 3.2...It doesn't seem to affect it in any way.

So before, when you switched users with MSN locked, your sister could log in, use msn, and when you logged back in, nothing had happened to your MSN?

If not then polygamy might solve the problem www.stuffplug.com. It's a plugin for plus! and has a feature to run multiple instances of MSN at once. I'm not sure if this is the problem, but it might be worth a try.

Yeah i know it should work cos i do exactly the same.

Um it could be a program that you downloaded that is interfering with MSN messenger. It shouldn't be your sisters account though.

Does it work if you just leave MSN unlocked and switch users?

(Keep msn open, switch users, log back on, is MSN there and still working)

yeah, When I logged back in, my MSN remained locked and things..and I just had to unlock it.

And I Don't think it has much to do with msn, Because she can leave hers running, its just that mine won't come back!

Yeah, If I leave it running, it'll still work fine, but that really defeats my purpose of using plus... I Hope this gets fixed, its making me Crabby.
