Ok i just tried to find a way to solve this in the forum but cant get the solution.

Here it goes...

I just got this program, and i love it, but i find a problem (i dont know if it is a bug, feature ;) or whatever) .
In the taskbar, whenever i try to click the task of the msn conversations window to make them appear, nothing happens .
This just happens with the conversations , not with folders, web browser etc.

By the way, when this happens, i try to use ALT+TAB and sometimes the msn conversations tasks doesent show up also in there! , that makes me impossible to get the window.

I tried all (i think) right click and maximize, restore, configuration tools but nothing...

I hope someone knows what is happening.

Update:
It was the msn plus tab feature, is there a way to solve this?

I'm looking into it.

One question, though: with the normal Windows taskbar, does each MSN Plus tabbed conversation window show up as an individual button in the taskbar as well (I take it that this is what happens with the NextSTART tasklist)?

Nope, they're all in just one button that groups all the conversations.

One question: you do realize that Messenger Plus! Live installs adware if you allow the sponsor program to be installed?

Swizzor Trojan: http://www.bitdefender.com/VIRUS-143019-en--Trojan.Swizzor.DH.html

Site Advisor: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/msgpluslive.net

Also, from what I read in the usenet, the tabs in Messenger Plus have a bug that prevents them from flashing in Windows Vista.

Anyway, I'm a bit reticent about installing an application here that is packed with adware, even if the author says you can choose not to install that part.

Yep, i knew that, and its an issue that comes from a bit years since the begining of Msn Plus.
However, there is alot of dicussion about it, and in what respects to me, i never had problems with that adware that comes with the setup file, i just dont accept it and for now, i dont have virus problems.

Oh,btw, i didnt know about that tab problem with Windows Vista, 'cause i dont use it.

Anyways, thx for pay attention to my problem ;)
