Are you looking for Windows Live Messenger and MSN fixes? This is right place for you!
Windows Media Player and Messenger - Now Playing Plugin
For Windows Media Player 11, do the following: 1) Open Windows Media Player 11 2) Under the "Now Playing" tab, click "more Options" 3) In the "Plug-ins" tab there will be a category list box. In that list box click Background. To the right of it should be the "windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in" Make sure that is checked.
Where do I find the plug-in for Windows Media Player that lets me show contacts what music I'm listening to on Windows Live Messenger?
Open Windows Media Player. In Tools menu you'll see Plug-ins. Check Windows Live messenger Music Plug-in.
And in Live Messenger, under your status you have
Solution 2:
1) Enable the Now Playing option in MSN,
2) Go to your MSN Messenger (Windows Live Messenger) folder in Program Files,
3) Find the "msgrapp.dll" file,
4) Copy it to your Windows Media Player 11 folder (in Program Files too),
5) Restart your play

being looking for that for ages!
I knew about this solution, but what to do if in the 'tools -> plug-in -> background' there is no box to tick for the damn plug-in...?
same with above guy help
yeah i cant get it to work either
doesnt show up in the wmp options under any tab
did what it says, but it doesn't work for me, either... :/
ive got WMP11 & have the same problem with the 4 ppl above... can sum1 please tell me how to get the msn plugin option in the background tab
I just bought a new lap top with windows vista and media player 11.
There is no live messenger plug-in in the media player 11 not in background not nowhere. Please help me or ill have to use iTunes. Tell me where can I dounload it from? I've searched all of microsoft and I havent found it.
hey i had the same problem that there was no box to tick but i installed all the windows updates and restarted my pc and suddenly the option was there
excellent , thx!
I had a horrible time trying to get both Windows Media Player and Winamp to display my songs on MSN with Windows Vista. Turns out I just had to go to "Run as administrator" when I turn on MSN and Winamp/WMP. I don't know why, since I AM the Administrator but anyway, hope this helps Vista users.
i lost my msn messenger plugin for windows media player were can i Dl it again ?
Thanx 2 u i fix the problem and so much thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx believe meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I know where it is both on msn and wmp but when I click the thing to show what i'm listening to it says I need to sign in as an administrator, i've got windows xp how do I do this? It shows up in WMP > Tools > Plug-ins but wont let me "apply" it, i've also tried downloading it but it says it couldn't import the plug-in. please help!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this ^^
thanks a lot
thanks, really helpful, cheers again
Cheers mate!
hahaha i cant believe it was that easy thanks a million
Did everything. Even ticked the right boxes. Nothing. I've given up. Vista is actual poo.
listen to what the vista guy said
you have to "Run as administrator"
the other guy about XP
just make sure your accont is an admin one
go to control panel then user accounts check with that
I can't enable "Show what I'm listening to" in WLM because I get an error saying there's an error in wmp installation please blablabla. I reinstalled wmp 11 fresh today and it didn't work. Nothing works.
does it matter that the file i found was named "msgrapp.dll" is supposed to be a version "8.1.0178.00." and says "Msn Messenger Protocol Handler" instead of maybe "Msn Messenger Now Playing Plugin" because i still can't find the box to tick in the 'Background' area. There is just no mention of Msn Messenger Plugin in my WMP11. Should i download my msn again? because i just downloaded my WMP11 again and that seems to make no difference.
solution 2 worked straight away cheers been a great help :D
YEAHH BOIII !
Solution 2 Worked A Treat =]
Thanx Heaps.
Peace

Thanks heaps
hey i did everything, and still when i check the box in MSN, it tells me i must have windows media player 9.0 or later... but ive installed windows media 11 about 3 times...and re-installed MSN... any suggestions?
I did exactly what you said, and it worked! Thanks a lot; it helped - in order to get it back you do need to be a little computer savvy.
I do it!!!
for the ones that still struggle with that message "... windows media player 9.0 or later ..."
seems that msn is searching for a "IsInstalled" registry key that is missing in wmp 11 component registry.
Set this and the thing is solved!
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6}]
"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001
HTH
thank you very much!
my problem is solved in a blink of an eye.
OMG thx sooo much!!! =DDDD
IF EVERYTHING JUST FAILS:
I have been trying to fix this for ages... Nothing seemed to fix it.
The solution for me was a little weird. Follow it and see if it solves your problem!
1. Create a new User in Vista.
2. Logon with the new User.
3. Enable the plugin in WMP and in Live Messenger. It should magically work...
4. Log off and log on again with your normal account. It should work now and you can delete the new User account you created.
IT WORKS!!
thnx it works
Thank you very much
Cheers been trying to figure it out for months
it stil doesnt work :S:S:S:S what do i do now, i copied the file and nothing changed. im using WMP 11 by the way! any help????

I just bought my laptop Acer AOA-150 a few days ago, but i dunno why when i start a voice conversation on msn messenger or skype the other persons voice keeps on breaking up. while on my other laptop it sounds great with no problems. however listening to music or watching a video sound fine.
anybody experience the same? or know of a solution?
i just don't wanna return it.
Well this solution is great, but msn will only show the songs that are in your WMP Library, when I play songs that aren't in my WMP Library they don't show up on msn...
thank you very much
msgrapp.14.0.8064.0206.dll is the same?
i have this one in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger
but i dont know where should y copy it
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player?
or
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player

Nope, tried all of the above sollutions 1 + 2 + registry edit + new user + start as admin.. I'm still getting the "You need wmp 9" message :(
YOUR ALL IDIOTS lol MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM CUZ THERE USING 64BIT OS, MESSINGER IS A 32BIT PROGRAM SO THE PLUGIN WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE 32BIT WMP NOT THE 64BIT ONE lol
thnx alot dude!!!!!
went crazy lookin fr a solution....seriously thnx
thanks a lot, solved my problem :-)
Thanks man! solved my problem on Windows 7.
Problem solved, thank youu a lot <3
Thanks, Just worked on Windows 7 :)
Cheers bro!
Thank you so much!
finally someone with the solution! :D
Thanks man! solved my problem on Windows 7.
In Windows 7 it comes with 64 bit Windows Media Player 12 (default) in c:\Program Files.
It will only work with the 32 bit version of Windows Media Player in c:\Program Files (x86).
The easiest way is to either pin the 32 bit version to the start menu or create a desktop shortcut else you have to mess around with the RegEdit
meh nothing seems to fix this msgrapp 14.0 error. i simply dont understand.
I tried enabling it in the programs but no go.. but with a hind from this site I found that
by going to regedit under[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\
and then going through the list of weird numbers until I saw one mentioning media player and doubleclicked on "IsInstalled" and set the value data to 1 from 2 and it worked.
This is where I found it on mine.
Win7-64
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95}
Hi. I have the same problem. I worked a bid stupidly in on the key register because I tried to install wmp 12 and then my media player was corrupted (with dark menu textes and so on), so I deleted all the register keys and reinstalled wmp11 and the corruption problem was fixed. So everything works except the "Now Playing plugin" that is not viewable in both MSN and WMP11. If I try to enable the plugin from MSN a message like that appear: "An error accoured during MSN installation, try to access as amministrator and and restore". If I try on WMP the plugin is missing even in the option-background etc. What should I do?
whew! thanks a lot! it worked well!
pls i need a serious help, im waiting since yearss to find a solution about how can i activate "now playing plugin" in MSN, always it said me : "you should have media player 9 codec or later"
thx alot for giving me any trick even a regitry trick to bypass detecting of WMP 9 Codec.
