Has this problem been resolved yet? I'm having the exact same problem. My WLM starts extremely slow (20-30 seconds - that's a long time if you think about it) when I have Messenger Plus installed, but when I uninstall it then my WLM loads within 3 seconds
very strange.
I remember having this problem before.. but somehow I fixed it. I remember searching for everything on my HD related to 'msn' and 'windows live' and deleted everything that showed up, and after that it was perfect. But now I have the same problem again (because I installed a fresh copy of XP Pro) but this time I can't get it to start faster
I don't know if your going to look into this just because one person (myself) has experienced this problem and it may just be my laptop alone, but I'm sure there are other people who experience this problem as well as me, but go along with it and think it's natural - when it's not!
Thank you in advance.
P.s - i cannot wait for Messenger Plus 4.8!
