Vista - Saving older messages error

Saving older messages error

Whenever a chat log is filled up (no matter what email) it will now pop up an
error saying the parameter is incorrect. I have been getting this for a long
long time, and after awhile if I change the place that it saves, it just
deletes it even if I want it to be saved.

So I click save, or delete, or even close and it does nothing.

Here's a picture:

I've tried different emails, different places to save, reinstalling,
uninstalling, everything. How do I fix this? Or should I just go back to an
older msn?

Also in the picture the (2) is there because its the second saved one, and I
know this isnt the error because I have a number of them saved before and
there was no error before about this.

Re: Saving older messages error

Greetings,

It is a bug in the current beta, yes.

I suggest you use the message logging feature in Messenger Plus Live
(http://mirror3.msgpluslive.net/MsgPlusLive-479.exe). Not only does it save the history as
its happens (as opposed to when you close the window), but it also saves all emoticons,
organizes by date, and other 'rich' parts of the conversation and organizes them how you see
fit.
