Ok I found a sort of work around I think to the MMS problem and still be able to use the manila SMS stuff.
I installed the Zenyee Disabler 1.2, and then installed all my Arcsoft stuff and had it all set up and working. I then uninstalled the Disabler to get manila SMS back. For some reason now I can access messages through the Manila SMS and tmail.exe (WM messaging). I just use the WM messaging for MMS and SMS through manila.
Try it out and see if it works. If it doesn't, then I'm not sure what I did to make it work, I've been messing with it a lot
