Here is my Msn flash updated for messenger plus live !

What it does is turns on and off the comm port while you have a message. So if you attach a led to the comm port it will blink and alert you that you have a message. Very useful in games or when you’re away from the computer.


Instructions:
----------------------
Have messenger plus live installed and execute the script

You will need MSCOMM32.OCX and it has to be registered, so copy it to C:\Windows\system32\
and then run regsvr32 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSCOMM32.OCX"


How to hook up the led:
----------------------
Make sure it is hooked up to Com port 1 (I only have one on my comp so i cant test it)
An led has a positive (longer lead) and a negative lead what you do is connect the positive pin to
the 4 pin and the negative to the 3 pin

Note: The cable that i am using is a crossover type cable so it might not be exactly like yours.
Do not be afraid try different pins if it doesn’t work for you.



please post any suggestions or questions you have

The led will turn off when you start typing a message, there is no need for it to be running while you are talking to someone
