I have downloaded the latest version of Windows Live Messenger, and everytime I sign in the whole program locks up.

It displays my contacts and email alert for about a second before freezing, making me unable to click on anything. The only thing i can do is exit the program.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled older version of MSN Messenger and also Live. Live runs every other email address I've put in except for the one I need: only one address I enter freezes up. Also, the older versions of MSN Messenger run the afflicted email fine. It seems to be only that one particular email address on Live: everything else is ok.

Is there something wrong with my email address?(agent_capone@hotmail.com) Live works fine on my computer with other emails and there is nothing wrong with the program itself or my computer. I am annoyed because it is the only account I use and need and I cant even access Live.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

This is only a theory, but couldn't something like this happen if someone sent you a lot of offline messages?

Interesting idea but I know for a fact that I would have no offline messages...my contacts are the type of people who only talk if I start the conversation...kind of hard to explain, but I dont think thats why.

Thanks for the idea though.

uninstall again and delete messenger folder in Program Files, also delete the following folders and registry keys:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Contacts
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Communications Clients\Shared
Then restart your computer, and reinstall WLM, it should work then.

No..It won't work if the problem are the offline messages

who said the problem are the offline messages ? offline messages are just a theory. I'm pretty sure my solution will fix his problem. i had exactly the same problem yesterday, 3 accounts managed to log in except one. the above did the trick.

agent_capone, just curious, do you manage to log in while you appear offline?

NO IT'S NO A TEORY...SEARCH ON THE FORUM I HAVE ALREADY HELPED PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I SOLVED IT.....THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE THE OFFLINE MESSAGES....However maybe he hasn't this problem...but also with this problem with the other account you can sign-in...So....We have to wait the response of agent-capone
