I've tried uninstalling Messanger Plus! Live several times to no luck.
Last night I even restored my computer back to Factory Settings because I feared it was a virus causing it to freeze up and then hang.
This morning after downloading the latest version of messanger and plus once again, it worked fine. But then, after signing off and going out, when I returned and signed in again - as if by magic - it stated freezing again!
And got no idea why either. Now I know it's not a virus. And it can't be my opperating system because I've been able to use msn normally up untill this point.
If it helps, the way it freezes is the same every time. After I sign it everything seems completely normal for about 10 seconds. Then, when I hover my curser over anything in the window all I get is the little circle icon (presumably the waiting one for Vista) but it just stays there and nothing happens. If I try to click on anything, the screen goes white and freezes up, at what point the window is called "Windows Live Messenger (Not Responding)".
I have no scripts or skins running either.
I found a solution!
I followed Jambon's instructions here
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=70...d=993700#pid993700 and rebooted. When I opened messenger there was no freezing and now everything is back to how it was!
I'm still not sure how this helps or what exactly it did, nor why messenger would let something this stupid effect people who use it. But it seems to have completely solved my problem. I recomend it to people who are having problems with their messenger crashing, freezing or hanging!
