Hey, how many RAM do you have? windows vista needs more than 1gb of ram to work as fast as xp, if you have less it should run fine but a little slower, also check that your xp computer has enough ram. if both computers have enough ram memory, it may be a virus. Some computer worms attach to the messenger executable file and run without notice and consuming most of the computer's memory and bandwith. Try running your antivirus and antispyware in safe mode and reinstalling both messengers. Remember that beta versions have to be used with caution since some of them are unstable and can cause system or application crashes.
