Umm I don't know if this will help or not but MSN doesn't support 256 colour mode. I think to use it's audio and video features, you have to set your colour quality to 16-bit. Myself I've been having the same problem with MSN crashing when I use my webcam or transfer files and I have 6.2 installed. I changed my colour quality settings and now I'm waiting for somebody to come online so I can see if it made a difference or not. Regardless, this is getting traumatizing now lol
