Stuff pack? StuffPlug or Service Pack?

Yes I'm getting that now, I just installed Service Pack 2

SP2 has slowed my Messenger too, but only if it starts on login to XP as far as I know (haven't tested fully yet).

I have seen this happen when a Plugin! becomes unstable on the system try the following here.

End the process for MsgPlus.exe and reopen MSN Messenger... still no black screen?

Close MSN Messenger and do the following.

Click Start > run > type regedit and click ok.
Click the + beside HKEY_Current_User
Click the + beside Software
Click the + beside Patchou
Click the + beside MsgPlus2
Click the + beside %your email%
Click on Preferences
Double Click on the EnablePlugins key and change the value from 1 to 0 then click ok.
Close the registry and open both MSN Messenger and Plus! or restart your computer.

If you dont get a black screen then one by one enable the Plugins that you have on the system and see which one is causing the problem

But this sometimes happens... It doesnt happen all the time.

Thisis generally caused by a plugin that tried to call function of Windows Messenger in MSN Messenger. Plugins like that should be reported and will be removed fromthe database (good plugins behave differently).

how can you find out what plugin is doing it, besides unistalling everything and trying to work with the one plugin and w8 if it shows up black..........

Heres a print screen of my : attached
