messenger freezes!!!
Greetings Wiss,
Firstly, you'll want to upgrade the version of DirectX on your PC, as older versions can cause this to happen: http://microsoft.com/downloads/detai...F-5EAB5C851CF5 Secondly, if after rebooting to complete the DirectX installation that this doesn't work, and if you're using a Linksys router, you may need to upgrade it to the latest firmwa http://www.linksys.com/download (See the router documentation on how to install it) Thirdly, if none of these works or didn't apply, are you referring to MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger? Before you answer, open up the task manager (right-click the taskbar and choose Task Manager or press Ctrl-Alt-Del), click the Processes tab, then look for "msnmsgr.exe" -- if all you see is "msmsgs.exe", then it's Windows Messenger. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "wiss" wrote in message ... when i just sign in, MSN messenger freezes and the "CPU usage history" in task manager goes to 100% until i end messenger process... there is no use of reinstalling messenger the same prob goes and goes again..... please if this kind of problem has occured with someone before or if anybody knows the solution HELP!! thx |

messenger freezes!!!
I am having the EXACT same problems, but am running the
latest DirectX version. The problem started with XP Messenger being a CPU hog, and having to stop it manually. So I uninstalled it using your run command, and downloaded MSN Messenger 6.1. And while with XP Messenger at least I was able to have some functionality (although it would run real slow and cause all programs to do the same), MSN Messenger 6.1.027 freezes--immediately after I log in. Until it's not logged it everything is fine with it. Any help? mike @ borsetti.com -----Original Message----- Greetings Wiss, Firstly, you'll want to upgrade the version of DirectX on your PC, as older versions can cause this to happen: http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
