O.P. Huh?  personal state
hi

i have a problem with the personal state in Messenger Plus. when msn messenger is 'away' with this kind of state (e.g. 'playing cs') and someone writes a message to me when iīm playing, the game abort. iīve searched in the Messenger Plus settings, but i havenīt found any options, so that that doesnīt happen. When someone send me a message and iīm playing, the messenger should send the auto-message but donīt abort the game. can anyone help me?
plz excuse my english. english isnīt my mother tongue :$

RE: personal state
As far as I can tell, Plus! doesn't actually hook the connection, just the windows. So if you try to send an auto-message then Plus sets the conversation as Active (ie, brings it to the foreground and minimises your game) uses the Windows API's SendKeys to "type" the message, and then returns the original window to the foreground.

Certain applications, particularly those using DirectX (ie games) don't like being alt-tabbed, and may crash under these circumstances.

If you're not using auto-messages (I can't really tell, sorry), then I don't know what's wrong.
