Do you have any software such as Windowblinds/MyColors etc, to change the appearance of Windows? They were known to cause this problem a couple of years ago and I'm not sure if the incompatibility was ever fixed (in either that software or Messenger Plus!).
Anyway, if you do have either of these installed, try adding Messenger (msnmsgr.exe) to the exclusion list as this fixed it in the past.
