243962 2004-06-13 01:53:00 Hi,

just downloaded Msg Plus 3.01.94, which is a 3.34mb file I think. When I go to the install folder (where all downloaded programs go) it won't do anything. Clicking on it doesn't do anything.

what's gone wrong here? I've checked that it was indeed 3.34mb, not just something small, and fake.

Using WinXP, MSN 6.2

243963 2004-06-13 02:07:00 have you tried restarting your PC? Sometimes windows just gets hot and flustered and needs restarting (so many times at LAN parites) fus1_n (3818)

243966 2004-06-13 06:00:00 What happens when you start up messenger. As far as I can remeber when I downloaded it I just restarted messenger again and there it was, without needing the run the plus exe. Just a thought

Yep - although it seems it doesnt download it - it says "Download complete" in 1 sec, even tho I have deleted the previous file from the computer .

> Running another program ( . exe) ?
How can i run another programme? It's an . exe file . . . .

> Changing folders and running it?
I moved the file to desktop, and tried to open it from there - same problem too .

> Got somesort of anti-virus?
Yep NAV

243968 2004-06-13 06:54:00 I meant do you have any other executables you can use?

Oh, clear your cache before you download, there may also be a copy in

c:/documents and settings/yourname/local settings/temp

Try turning norton off before installing, too.

243969 2004-06-13 08:19:00 if u want i can email u my copy or transfer over msn sometime as i downloaded it and used it so i know it works...

the size is correct though 3.33mb

and one other thing. msn has to be shut down when u use the file...and if it doesnt work after clicking it...try using msn coz it might be already installed..

and...if you had MSN plus on a older version of MSN or a older verson of msn plus then uninstall that before new version installation

> Try turning norton off before installing, too.

243971 2004-06-15 04:56:00 I suggest you forget about Messenger Plus, as it is not worth the hassle of install it, as you will have more problems then you can shake a stick at it. stu120404 (268)
