| | Messenger History function has disappeared My computer crashed and I had to return to factory settings. Subsequently my messenger history, which had worked previously, no longer worked. On seeing the advice below a few minutes ago, I downloaded Messenger Plus! Live, but on attempting to install it received the message "Infection Trojan horse Generic.IFA". I have now sent it to the Vault. Can't I use this addition?

| | Re: Messenger History function has disappeared Greetings Jane, I'm not sure why you're seeing that, but one thing that is often incorrectly identified is Messenger Plus' advertising sponsor program. The sponsor program is completely optional (you are forced to choose either Yes or No during the install) and the application will work exactly the same regardless if it's installed or not. You may want to go through the installer again and not choose to install the sponsor for better luck. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Jane Doe" <jdnincompoop@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uLJigmiQJHA.1168@xxxxxx Quote: > My computer crashed and I had to return to factory settings.

| | Re: Messenger History function has disappeared Yes, it works fine - you're a star! The only problem (which I had before) is that when I leave a message to be passed on when the contact is online - he/she never gets it. But I can live with that.
