There is something you are absolutely not understanding. Let me help you here.

The "hack" was working 100% on Windows 7 until a recent update of Plus!  When that update was installed, the "hack" stopped working. Nothing changed with Windows 7.

As I said before, that Plus! update stopped the "compatibility hack" from continuing to function. The person I spoke to said they might bring the feature back with an option to either enable it or disable it.

Is this clear enough?

Thanks,

I understand it perfectly, please don't try to patronise me.

YOU don't seem to be understanding that the "hack" is only required because of the way that Windows Live Messenger works on Windows 7.  I am fully aware that installing the most recent versions of Messenger Plus! Live resets the compatibility mode settings of Messenger.

This is done because Messenger is not designed to run in compatibility mode and it can cause problems if you do.  Compatibility mode is meant largely for programs that don't function correctly under a new operating system.  This is NOT the case for WLM in Windows 7, as what you are determined to be not working correctly is infact intended behaviour.
