Line 2:Unread mails: $dll(msn.dll,1,3,)

In development:
-Display the current users online

-Display how many mails you have outside your Inbox
-Show who has logged in or out

This looks awesome, I was wondering when someone was going to make a messenger plugin.

Not to sound ungrateful, but a AIM plugin would be nice. I messed around with it before, but not enough time and it looks rather complicated.

Copy this file to the same folder as msn.dll (LCDSmartie's plugin folder) and let me know if it works

looks like im the only who can use it. I will leave this project for a while and work on it later. I will probably reprogram the whole dll :/

Which version of MSN Mesenger are you using?

I get the "No bridge error" on MSN 7

6.2 but the problem seems to come from the interop.MessengerAPI.dll which might to be registered. But im not sure i tried to register with regsvr32 and it gives an error. Im kinda busy to work on it right now...

Not sure how or why it works because all i have done is follow the instructions and download the extra file, i was having the original not functioning error but after putting the extra file in there it works a treat

Maybe it has to do with the .net framework. :roll: I'm downloading it now, I got the error before, I'll post back after the 23MB download completes and I install it. Hopefully this'll work :D

After much yelling and cursing and swearing, I decided to check the forums as to why this damned thing doesn't work. I am running up to the bleeding edge on my software (XP Pro SP2, MSN Messenger 7.5, latest .Net framework). So what's the deal, any luck fixing this yet? I would certainly love to have this work on Messenger 7.5. :)

First off thanks for being interested into my plugin. However this plugin is really buggy as you can see and I temporarily stop working on it and even other plugins beacause I lack of time.
