Im using Windows Live Messenger Beta with the latest (and only) release of MsgLive Plus! for it. The problem is that when i come to lock messenger it wont lock? i activate it in the preferences options as CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + L to lock, and CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + U to unlock. Its worked once and once only. any ideas? thanks

Try CTRL+ALT+L to lock. IIRC from doing my own hotkeys, CTRL+ALT+SHIFT is actually WINKEY. As WINKEY+L is Windows own locking shortcut, it probably wouldn't work... Also, try a few different combinations (such as CTRL+1 or something similar)

Hi, thanks for reply..
yeh i tried it with CTRL + 1 to lock and still nothing happens
not even a box saying why it cant lock
it stopped working in the 8.5 aswell..?
am i missing a registry file or something?

No it isn't, it's Ctrl+Alt+Shift. Ctrl+Esc is (sort of) Winkey.

CTRL+ESC is reserved for Task Manager

no, that's ctrl+shift+esc. ctrl+esc opens the start menu.

i used CTRL + 1
so that shudnt conflict with anything?

Guys, iv been having the locking problem too.
Seemed to work on Vista fine, but i downloaded Windows 8, and havn't been having much luck tbh.

I new the flashing problem, and havnt tried it to see if it works on 8 yet, but ill try that later.

I can't lock it, and it doesnt seem to save my chat logs, either.
Ohh, and colours arn't being displayed.

I think WLMBeta + Plus + Windows 8 don't play nice..

Windows 8?
Oh, and Plus! isn't fully compatible with the latest build of WLM, so don't expect colors, chat logs and others from it =)
