laggy scrolling in msn 7's list :( by SLy CaT on 04-02-2005 at 07:29 PM
when i scroll through my contact list in msn 7 beta 0732, its extremely laggy. could this be because of the default skin?
is there anyway to make it scroll faster? i already disabled dp's for the contact list and all emoticons all together as of right now.
any help is appreciated.
P3 1ghz, 768 pc133 ram, winxp sp2 with classic theme (no skins)

Are you using contact list transparency? Try turning that off. Also, try turning contact list formatting off aswell.

would it be because its a BETA?
(im using msn 7.0.0732)

no transparency, and i have my contact list as online/offline if thats what you mean.
maybe it is just because its beta right now -_-;;

I don't think they'll fix this, Messenger 7 is "heavier" than previous versions, just like Messenger 6 is "heavier" than previous versions...
A real pity 
msnmsgr.exe is taking 32 MB of virtual memory here...

I was afraid so... I'm definitely gonna stick around with 6 then since the 'lag' is unbearable...

sn messenger 7.0.0732 is a leaked version, it should be ONLY be used by beta testers Utilisation by someone who's not a beta tester is illegal..
you guys should use the latest public beta release :

Are all of you using Plus! Custom Name feature? If so are you using it with or without the Formatting Tag option enabled?

I never have this problem 
Maybe it would help dividing contacts into groups and minimising all the groups. Then you only open a group when you want to check who's on... that's what i do at least.

The contact list has been laggy ever since the upgrade to 7.0 for me, but it's not that bad...

What video card are you using. I know i had this problem in firefox untill i updated my drives from the ones windows provides.

yep, i've experienced this problem as well guys. The Plus! Icon flashes when i scroll down my list, and so does my contacts. For some reason when ever i re-log into msn messenger it shows all my offline contacts (i have offline contacts grouped) again even tho i've clicked minimise previously.
If thats not a bug, it should be a feature 
Cause it lags the conversation window alot more when an extra 140 contacts are visible with large dp's.
I doesn't lag alot, but it lags definitly noticably, alot more then 6 (it doesn't lag at all).
