O.P. Huh?  Why does this addon make my Messenger slower?
Hi there.
I'm new on this forum, and I'm trying this fantastic addon for my msn messenger from about 2 days.
From the installation of messenger Plus, I've noticed that my messenger starts slower.
E.g. when my computer and msn messenger starts, he connects to msn network and in about 4 seconds is connected. Then I try to open messenger main window, to chat with my contacts, the window opens but it remains totally white, without contacts in for about 2 minutes. After this 2 minutes, it'll unblock and notice me which contacts are online and I can chat with them.
I'm sure before the installation of the plus addon it doesn't happen, so when I clicked on the messenger icon it opened faster and I could immediately chat with my contacts...

What it depends on?

Please help me, 'cause I love new wonderful features of Plus, but if has this effect on my pc, I'll forced to disinstall it....
HEEEEEELP

Thx :)

You could try to disable it at startup

O.P. Sad  RE: ::::HELP:::: Why THis AddOn Make Slower My Messenger?
Thanks 4 your replys, but I tryed reinstalling it 2 times....without changes...
About disabling it at startup.....I think it is useless, cause if I had it, I would use it....
However the problem is not about the windows startup, cause if I disable it from autorunning, when I go to start it, it employs the same time.....
It's very strange...

Dollarius: Try running plus without any plugins.

Plus> Preferences> Plugins> Uncheck allow Messenger Plus! to load plugins in my account.

Then restart MSN Messenger and see if you get the same problem.

that doesn't disable plus. it just changes the way plus is attached to messenger.

are you using any plugin for plus? or any other add-on for messeger?

does the same happen if you configure messenger not to start at the start up of windows and you start messenger once the system has completly booted?

O.P. Undecided  RE: Why does this addon make my Messenger slower?
Thanks for all your replyes!
I've Tryed all your advices, but the result is the same.
My msn Messenger version is   7.0.0813
My Messenger Plus version is the latest, cause I've downloaded it from the official site 3 days ago.
I don't have any other addon or plugin installed...
Now I noticed that if I uninstall messenger plus, messenger starts in the same way. If I open it when it is connected, the main page remain white for 2 minutes......after that, It unbloks......
I'm very sure that before I installed this addon, It didn't happen..
I tryed to reinstall msn messenger, but it's the same. When reinstalling, I've chosen the repair mode, cause I'm worried if I unistall it completely, all my contacts, message history, emoticons and lots more 'll be lost...
What can I do....I want to use Messenger Plus, but it's important that my messenger works fast!
My pc is a pentium 4 with a 3.06 Mhz processor, 1Gb of Ram....
Please hlep if you can
