its annoying it freezes every minute now

at first it was working great
later it started freezing (for a week)
and now I can't have a decent conversation

I uninstalled/reinstalled it now over 5 times and nothing has changed

I'm now using an older version 8.1
(cuz 8.5 wont install I get an error)

any ideas on whats wrong?
everyone seems to be ok with it

Are you using any add-ons/patches for Windows Live Messenger?

When you say it freezes.....how exactly do you mean?

Does it happen randomly, or when you try specific things?

yea but they're all diabled I haven't used them for months now

and the freezing thing it just happen randomly

I get the "(not responding)" tag on the frame

Are you running many other things along with WLM?

How much RAM do you have?

What happens if you just wait for like 10 mins when it goes to 'Not Responding'?  Does it unfreeze?

firefox

I have 2G RAM

Nothing, the not responding is still there. I have to open the task manger myself and end it.

but I've noticed that the CPU goes to 40 something and higher when it happens

Use Windows XP?
I've got some problems with iTunes and WLM, if both were opened at the same time, the whole PC would freeze (and CPU would go to 100). Also with some other programs like Chrome and Full-Screen applications. Try running without firefox and see if gets better =)

I'm using vista

and as I said before it was fine, I just don't know what happened!

thanks

Try disabling SuperFetch, disabling it boosted my Vista PC speed, and avoided lots of hick ups...

whats that?
and how how do I disable it?

Superfetch preloads your "most used" programs in memory, but I guess it never worked since it only preloads Microsoft software I never used (¬¬')
Read this to disable =P
