it sounds like to me that there is deffenitly something wrong with not just messenger but ur system,,,wut virus scan do you use?...i recomend BitDefender 8 Professional Plus http://www.soft32.com/download_76095.html ....and when you do a spyware scan use Microsoft AntiSpyware(BETA) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx i find these the most effective

The error message since then, hasn't been occuring, thankfully. So for Yahoo, its going alright now.

I've done a windowsupdate a week back, if I remember correctly. I also run the LiveUpdate of Symantec Antivirus (Corporate Edition) every couple weeks and I get my system scanned for viruses every Monday as scheduled. Nothing seems to be picked up. Also, if my internet lags for about 5 seconds most times, would that be due to my internet provider or maybe lack of space on my computer, perhaps?

If your internetconnection lags it could be due to a memorything, your ISP or the site you visit. You can clear internetcache (in browser: settings > internetoptions > temp internet files ... click "remove files")

How long does clearing internetcache take? i tried it, but the internet stopped responding, is that not normal?

Depends on how much is inthere, you can go into your browsersettings and see if there's anything to set clear cache (delete temp internet files) on exit. Whilst deleting those files you can't browse on on the internet, thats correct.

Ah okay, thanks Sunshine
Btw, I just successfully downloaded the released version of msn 7!

You're welcome xpirdwingz, i'm glad even the MSNM problems are solved now.



I also use same MSNM version

Well Sunshine, alllmostt.. I tried to do Remote Assistance last night on msn 7, but because you have to have an updated version of windows messenger, i still have an error in that problem. Actually, I don't have a windows messenger at all since it disappeared last time, so I tried downloading windows msger 5.1 but that error is still the same. Nevermind for now though, at least msn 7 is working .
Also cleared my temporary files- do you recommend an option for where it says how often to check for newer versions of stored files? at the moment, mines set on automatically- would that mean there would be more files?

If you always want to see the newest page (it might have been changed since you looked at it), then yeah it should be set to automatic (mine is set to that aswell). In that very same screen you can set the size of the cache (settings > internetoptions > under temp internetfiles click settings)..set the size of that folder to 50 MB, it's more then enough and will prevent internet becoming slow cuz of a too big a cache

As for the windowsmessenger problem, try and install it in safemode on the account called "administrator".

Could you tell me how to do that, please? And how to change it back to normal after safemode?
