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

placebo

so?

Does it only freeze when a conversation window is opened? 

If so, it's probably a bug in messenger that hasn't been fixed. If this appears to be your problem, I maybe able to work out a hex edit that might fix it.  Let me know

nope

I am also having this problem. Out of nowhere wlm will freeze and will hog 100% of a core. I thought i had solved the problem a while ago by reinstalling but its started up again and worse than before. I used to have msgplus and a-patch, but i haven't got either once i reinstalled. I have done minor google searches and this is appearing to be a common issue!

well rapid let me know if u ever get it fixed

Well, for lack of other options, if you want you can try and do this:
This might help, but it might not.

1. Make sure that you are using Windows Live Messenger version 14.0.8064.206
2. Open the messenger folder.  Commonly this is C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
3. Make a copy of liveNatTrav.dll just in case something goes wrong.
4. Open liveNatTrav.dll (from the messenger folder) in a hex editor.
If you don't have a hex editor, The editor I use is Notepad++ with the Hex Editor Plugin
5. At offset 0x00023FCA, you should see EB 36.  Change this to EB 3A.
6. Save the file and try messenger again. 

If it still freezes, then it's a different problem than I think it is, and you can put the original liveNatTrav.dll back, but this trick worked for me, so it might help you too.
