works, but not noifications

So I'm using this remote messenger on my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopord 10.6.4 
and installed the latest version of Growl. I have a Nexus one with a Froyo 
(Android 2.2) rom. I can successfully pair the phone to the computer. The 
program succeeds to pause my music whenever i get a call (bluetooth & wifi) and 
will also successfully connect to my computer when i select a specific device 
with MacDroidNotifier (bluetooth & wifi). However, i cannot seem to get 
notifications to pop up on my screen at all. I've tried al the steps through 
the other "issues" and cant seem to solve my problem. I understand your busy 
with all the issues presented to you and I'm 100% willing to be patient for you 
my friend. Just let me know of any suggestions you can come up with or anybody 
else for that matter. THanks.

(I'll assume you're using the native mac client and not the multiplatform 
client, is that right?)

Can you get logs from the mac application after this happens?
(You can use the console at Applications > Utilities > Console, then search for 
MacDroidNotifier)

I also have the same issue but on Windows XP.  I can pair my Droid w/ Froyo 
with the desktop program, but nothing will pop up when I receive a phone call 
or SMS.  The log shows that notifications for 'ring' and 'ping' are received, 
but there is no pop-up.  I am also using the native client, and no growl.

I'm also having trouble seeing any popup messages. Using MultiDroid 0.5.1 on 
Windows XP, from a Nexus One on Froyo (2.2.1).

On the desktop settings, I have set the notification to be copied to the 
clipboard to verify that is is received, but I am unable to see any popup 
messages on screen.

You are receiving notifications without errors but you might have a problem 
with Windows not showing up popup balloons, take a look at this issue:

With the help of the link in the comment above, I solved my problem with the 
notifications not popping up. Thanks very much.
Though the link in comment 8 leads to a workaround for Windows 7 and me using 
Windows XP, I figuered out that I blocked the Windows balloon pop-ups with 
XP-Antispy. Once removed this setting and after rebooted my system, I was able 
to get the notifications.

It's also working for me now. In Windows XP, you need to set EnableBalloonTips 
to 1(DWORD). This is found under: 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

After logging off and back on, I reinstalled MutliDroidNotifier and it's all 
working now.
