    Hi,
    I've been at this for the past 5-6 hours and can't find the solution for it!
    I still use messenger and I need to have MsgPlus for its features (logging, skins etc.) but no matter what it won't appear on MSN. It installs correctly (I assume) but doesn't show up in the main MSN window at all!
    I've tried searching for the solution to this, some people say its to do with the NVIDIA optimus. But I've tried nearly all combinations of integrated, gpu and it still won't work. I've even tried installing older versions of both MSN and Msgplus and still no go - everything worked fine on my XPS M1530 (No optimus).
    I'm wondering if anybody else has had the same problem.

    Another problem I'm having is that Optimus doesn't kick in when viewing a 1080p video on youtube. I've seen videos online which demonstrate GPU switching, but it doesn't happen for me - is there something wrong?
    Many thanks :)
