Recently my msn7 has been freezing ( when opening a convosation. It freezes from around 6-30 seconds which is really annoying. i tried to go back to msn 6.2 but it just made me update to 7. So im bound to win mes (which works fine)

any suggestions?

thanks,

Are you/your contacts using DDP (Dynamic Display Pictures)?

no, i just had it freeze for 1 min. It's quite annoying

are u using a dynamic background? (im not sure if these lag convo's but if dynamic display pictures do i don't see why these wouldn't)

or anything that wasnt in msn 6 which may be different and causing msn to work extremely slowly

i had this problem a while ago.... then it just disappeared, which i thought was weird

What are you system specs? Have you scanned for adware/spyware? Do you have alot of winks installed? Give us some information about your computer

By the way, here is the link for the version of MSN Messenger 6.2 that does not make you upgrade (AFAIK):

Thanks for the link to 6.2...
I do have some adware that im tring to get rid off(every time my mum uses the pc i get some random icons and an annoying toolbar ) but it was working fine then suddenly slowed down.. I dont use "dynamic background" or god awful "winks".
The only add-ons i use on msn is Msn+ and IEDP2
