Vista - History doesn't keep the logs

History doesn't keep the logs

It is VERY annoying problem.
I have enabled the history logging, but it does not look like it is updated
as often as needed. If I chat to a person, i might see the history of the
chat a day latter, but in most of cases, i won't see it at all. Like that
chat never happened.
I've installed MsgPlus and use it as the history keeper, but this is a
workaround that I'd rather avoid. I've installed clean Windows 7 recently and
hoped that this would fix this problem, but it did not. Based on this
experiment, I dont think there is a problem on my computer.

Any suggestions what should I try next?

Greetings Alex,

Messenger's history function is not reliable as you've noticed. If you want reliable logs
which you can count on to save, Plus! is the way to go.

Re: History doesn't keep the logs

What can I say....just WOW. How can it be?
Microsoft developed an application and users cannot rely on its features?
i cannot complain much, since the application is free, but i expect better
quality otherwise, I'd use non Microsoft products.

I'm sorry, but I'd like to think that there is something wrong with my
profile or something rather than beleive that Live messenger was released
with such major problem.
