IC...

And those links you press, are they text in a conversation, or are they links in people's names?

Also, can you state:
- what version of MSN Messenger you are running (complete version number: x.x.xxx)
- what version of Messenger Plus! are you running (complete version number: 3.x.xxx)
- Do you have all the latest Windows XP updates (including SP2)?

EDIT: IC = I see

I'm not certain what IC means.....but I will answer what I can.  I am using MSN messenger version 7.5.0311, which should be the newest since I installed it from the web just yesterday.

Messenger plus is 3.61.145 which was also just installed yesterday.

XP SP2 fully updated.

They are text in a conversation window, not links in a person's name (haven't tried that)

im having exactly same problem here.
im using:
msn 7.5 (7.5.0306),
newest Messenger Plus
and sp2 is installed.

Latest Messenger is 7.5.0322 (QFE patch on Mess.be) or 7.5.0316 (no QFE).
Latest Plus! is 3.62.146.
Upgrade to them both and see if the problem persists.
