MSN Messenger 7.5 Build 7.5.0324 High CPU Usage Problem

Since installing MSN Messenger 7.5 Build 7.5.0324 I have had a couple of
problems firstly it completely crashed on wininet.dll 6.0.2900.2861 and
Outlook and Explorer also crashed so I downloaded debug version of the
WININET.DLL 6.0.2900.2180 which solved the crashes but now MSN frequently
takes up 90% to 100% cpu in Windows Task Manager in Processes which makes all
other tasks grind to a halt so I have to end the process of msnmsgr.exe to
continue working. I have done a search and it seems that lots of users are
experiencing problems with cpu usage in 7.5 So maybe the boffins at Microsoft
can get their respective thinking caps on a solve the problem.

Regards Dave.

Same problem here. MSN Messenger takes constantly 90-100% CPU usage.
Windows Messenger 70% CPU usage.

Any ideas ?

Well I'm still using build 0322 and I'm getting fed up with the fact that it
uses about 50MB of RAM to run, and with a message window open it's
definitely using up to 85% of CPU or more. But I heard the 0324 build was
suppose to fix that?
