WLM Not Responding

If Windows Live Messenger would ever get out of the Not Responding state it
seems to be stuck in, I would include the version number. But I know it's
not a beta version. Probably 8.5

I am running an up to date XP Pro operating system. The only program I have
any trouble with is Windows Live Messenger. It doesn't consume any real
system resources whether in normal or not responding state. I can use all
other programs.

There is a secondary window behind the Contacts window, that is always there
when it is not responding, but not when it is actually working. Which seems
a rare occasion lately.

Any ideas what the @#$% is happening? Below is the error report send to
Microsoft when I finally just shut the damn thing down:

szAppName : msnmsgr.exe szAppVer : 8.5.1302.1018 szModName : hungapp

szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000
