Since I formated my  "C:"  drive I cant open my logs file that are on the "F:" drive . All my files are encrypted with the window thing (right clic on folder --> properties --> advance --> chec: Encrypt contents to secure data) and they are encrypted with a password that you can make with Messenger Plus. When i try to open a file it says  "acces is denied" (and show a blank document)

I can open the files that are saved with window live messenger but these file are only saved since 5 day ( i delite them each month , use it only to show the last ending conversation when i open a conversation )

If someone can help me to open the MsgPlus logs files I would be happy cuz my conversation are saved since 1 years >.<
           
     Sorry for my bad english, i hope you will understand.   thank you

Once you chat logs are encrypted with a password, you can't retrieve them unless you know or enter in the correct password. And there is nothing that can be done.

SO basically, your stuffed...best thing to do....start fresh by deleting any chat logs...put in a new password , remember it and write it down...then you should be fine

Thats not the problem, i know my password  but it dont ask me any password it just says acces denied

ok well this might be a long shot but does the icon next to the file look like:


Click for large

if it doesnt then you might need to do this:

Click for large


Click for large


i hope this helps you

I cant do anything with the old conversation.

That is odd...

To be honest I don't know what the problem is, it's weird, that's for sure.

btw, you forgot to censor an address on the last image.

Its ok it was an old email that is not in use atm ^^
ill wait 1 week to search for a solution
if i dont find ill have to delite all the conversation >.<..

To me it appears that either the file is being used by another application/process(Restarting might help) or the file is corrupt.

This is nothing to do with Plus!, nor is it due to a file being corrupt/ in use.

That's your problem. If I understand correctly from what I have read online,the only person who can have access to files protected with that is the original user who created it, thus if you formatted the drive with that account on, I don't think (although I'm not 100%) that there is way of getting it back...

But as I said, I'm not 100% certain, so don't delete them yet as someone else may be able to provide more help

Im waiting
