Alt-Space crash by Destrider on 08-30-2006 at 08:22 PM
When I hit Ctl-space bar (usually used in photoshop as a zoom shortcut) Windows Live Messenger crashes on my system.
It leaves behind the process thread but the UI is basically down and the icon disappears from the system tray. I have to force the thread b4 restarting it.
Im not sure if the problem is with WLM or something else specific to my system.
I running windows XP Professional service pack 2

It sounds like you're accidently activating messenger lock, one of plus' features 
To disable this feature, or change the shortcut open up your plus preferences, and go to the messenger tab, and choose messenger lock from the list on the left.
I could however be off with my diagnosis

You can see if the boss protection was enabled after you click it, by going to your taskbar and see if you spot a new icon, double click it, and if messenger returns, then that was the problem.
However, i don't think it is,as the default Plus! Live shortcut for boss protection is Control + Space.
