Hi Stevo,

I'd suggest then that you use System Restore to restore back to before
when you installed
DirectX9. To do so, click Start, then Help & Support, then "Undo changes
to my computer
using System Restore" and go through the wizard.

9,
Messenger and the
firewall have issues working together, which can display the behavior
you're seeing

To fix this, install DirectX 9a, you can find it he

Whenever I sign into messenger and either try to open messenger from
the
taskbar or double click a contact in Outlook Express to talk to
SVChost
(system one) immediatly hogs all the available CPU. If I close
messenger
using task manager the CPU usage returns to normal. Is there any way
I
can
correct this problem as I really need to use messenger in the
future.

Many Thanks
