O.P. "Bad image" error
I have this problem after I updated messenger plus. It says "the application or DLL C:\proggramfiles\MSN Messenger\msgslang(2).dll is not a valid windows image. Please check against your installation diskette. " I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and its still the same...it also says software unloaded on the plus tab.  please help. Thanks :)

RE: "Bad image" error
I dont think I understand your problem.

But you could try unistalling Msg Plus! Live then deleting its folder
(C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live or something like that)

If that doesnt work try unistall and reinstalling WLM too.

RE: "Bad image" error
try uninstalling messenger plus live and Windows live messenger..
then make sure that the map:
C:\Program Files\MSN messenger\  is empty, if not there may be another messenger on your system (7.5 for example) is so uninstall that one...
If not delete all the files in the MSN messenger folder...

install Windows Live Messenger and after that install messenger plus live...
that should fix it...

i *think* the problem is that they patched wlm and the patch crapped the dll....
