Look for “Temporary Internet Files” I think that is under c:/documents and settings/yourname/local, but you should be able to find it, post back if you cant.

Yep :)

Just temp files that windows/ or a Program has put in there during the install of that Program & some times windows puts temp file in there

All off it is safe to remove

He he, wish I could do that! Msg Plus was (and is still) soo cool, I could change people's name (which is almost a neccessity when almost everyone changes their display name every day!!) plus log the chats, and check emails . . . .

I'll leave it for a couple of days and see what happens . . . maybe there's a problem with my computer (see my AVG post) . . .

Are you aware that Trillian does all that, and more?

243978 2004-06-16 03:36:00 Oh my, everyone here must be blind :O

Messenger Plus! is supposed to be running as a service in the background. If you loaded up your task manager you would see it running as a service.

Ok how to use it? When you open Msn it should another menu just like File, edit etc. it should say Plus! Thats where you configure all your stuff.

Trojan worries :| The program is not a Trojan. Download it from the official site and you'll have no problems.

Blind leading the blind I tell you.

Yep I am, I even have it, but don't feel comfortable with it . . . no idea why!! if this problem doesn't get fixed, might try trillian again

243981 2004-06-16 05:02:00 Well is the service running in the background?

You might have unchecked it from the startup in msconfig?
