well now we are sure is plus, seems like a lack of ram to me; when you sign in, there is a moment(when messenger is loading the contact list) in which the process uses a lot of cpu and eats a lot of ram and that can make your system veeeeeery sloooow and can even freeze for a few seconds and that can interrupt network connections, in usb or wireless conections it can make it disconnect for a few seconds.

So this can happen in a pc like this one
128 mb of ram
PIV 1.6
using xp sp2
the rest is not so important.
or a better pc but with lots of applications running

If your pc is similar with the one in the example this can be your problem. The solution is to get a better pc and not  to upgrade to windows live messenger because it needs more resources.

Mine is a
2,8 Ghz Intel Pentium IV
1024 Mb of Ram
XP Sp2
WLM 8
Plus 3.60
and it also freezes, so it ain't lack of ram..it freezes everywhere.
Plus i think it happens without plus! installed

the case is totally different dude we are talking about msn 7.5 you have WLM which has resources leaks everywhere.

also the guy told the problem does not happen without plus.

here is hoping. it definitly is an interesting problem, on top of annoying. Perhaps the whole system is just trying to preload/update/queery too many things at once and it causes something to get all out of sorts.

just for reference it's a USB 2.0 Wilress adapter Connecting to a 56Mbps wireless G network 64-bit encryption.
