I have also the same problem but a little else: When i try to login it works for some seconds and then.... he stops with logging in and nothing happens!!!!!!!!!1

to get around it you just have to be signing out when it crashs.... settings make no diff.. annoying but works, just try signing in and out a few times before staying on

you will see if freeze when signing out then pop back to the main screen if you have got it right it seems

EDIT: Just have to get lucky in getting it done

Could all you guys send my a HijackThis log?

I posted this in another part of the forum but it applies here.

When I tried to install 3.51 over 3.5.0.124 I had exactly the same problem.  Only on my system (Windows XP SP2, Messenger 7.0.077) it completely locked up windows.  The only way I could get Messenger to work with Plus 3.51  at all was to completely uninstall Plus 3.51 AND Messenger 7.0.0777 and reinstall them.  Seems to be working now but I lost all of my Plus! preferences.

It's a really strange problem... since I find that when MSN 7.0 is running the crashes are "contagious"....  firefox will freeze sometimes.... explorer.exe will freeze....  and it never happens when I don't have 7.0 running.... and once again.. i find the freezes so random.. i hav no idea what sets them off.

at least its comforting to know other people have similar freezing issues....  hopefully someone will figure it out soon.

I think it might be service pack 2. I've had problems with that and deleted it. Everything is fine.

I don't think so... I am also running the latest service pack and have been for some months now... with no problems whatsoever...

The problem lies in the latest build 777.

i can only advise you to post your problem in the Microsoft Newsgroup maybe somebody there will be able to help you.

(make sure to click on msn.messenger when you enter the site i gave a link to above)

once you are there, check out the newsgroup too, in my previous posts in this thread i suggested some solutions i found there, maybe there will be new ones soon

either way it will not hurt to ask for assistance there. (just make sure to be as detailed as you can be about your problem.)

Just spent a moment througly looking into this and IT IS firewall

Details of the connection that crashs 7.0777

Its an inbound attempt... so just allow it and you'll be fine

I have the same problem... only mine was working fine.. then i turned off the comp and when I turned it back on, MSN just kept crashing. The weird thing is that it doesn't work on MY profile. I have tried it on other profile on my comp (since i have XP) and it works fine.. i have no idea what it is.. i've reinstalled, I've been through so many versions of MSN 7.0... i don't get it anymore... if anyone knows anything PLEASE let me know too


thanks
