I am having problems using all of the functions for messenger plus. It has installed ok, but I can't see my contacts' names in colour and also can't send emotion sounds; I can receive sounds ok.
I have searched the forum and uninstalled smiley central and followed the step-by-step instructions, such as uninstalling everything and then re-instaling (about 4 times!) but it hasn't fixed the problem. Help!

When it loads up, does the Plus Icon add itself to the toolbars and do you see the "Plus!" dropdown menu next to "Help" on the menubar?

Yes, everything looks as it should (I've compared it to somebody elses!) but I don't seem to have all the functions

What version of Windows Live messenger and Messenger Plus! Live do you have?
To Find the version of Windows Live Messenger > Help - About Messenger

8.5 for live messenger and 4.50.0.312 for plus

Done it all, still not right!

Give up!

Are you running Windows Vista?

sometimes Plus doesnt install correctly on Vista if it isn't installed as administrator

yes, I'm on Vista!

Anything I can do?

I am an administrator, is there anything I can do?
I've uninstalled and installed this so many times!

Uninstall Messenger Plus Live, then download the install file again and save it to your computer

Then right click on it and choose "run as administrator" and install it that way and see if it works.
