That Could of happened to me, i thought it was another program :S but i installed 8.0 back since then so :/

If it's too much trouble, revert back to 8.0

What build do you have?
Go to Help > about, then see what version you have.

I have got a very low usage of about 02 on CPU and is only using about 20mb RAM


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by MaikelS on 12-14-2006 at 06:03 PM

build 8.1.0168

but the same thing was happening with the previous version...
i thought that the new msn version gonna fix that.. but it didnt..
so i think its a msgplus bug =/

I dont think its got anything to do with MP!L, i havent had it, have you tried 8.0?
RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by MaikelS on 12-14-2006 at 06:17 PM

yeah.. with msn 8 that doesnt happen
and with 8.1, if i uninstall msg plus that doenst happen too..
the problem is  8.1 + msgplus  =/


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by kao on 12-14-2006 at 07:38 PM

Have you even tried it without msgplus?


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by MaikelS on 12-14-2006 at 08:59 PM

yeah
with msgplus uninstalled that doent happen =(


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by RaceProUK on 12-14-2006 at 09:21 PM

What scripts do you have? Some scripts could cause high CPU usage.


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by MaikelS on 12-14-2006 at 09:52 PM

i have no scripts installed
the high cpu usage happens when im loggin in, and stays for a while.. cant say how many time
but thats annoying me a lot

the strangest thing is that isnt msnmsgr.exe that is consuming CPU resources... its the System process that does


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by Patchou on 12-14-2006 at 10:31 PM

can you try disabling chat logs and tell me if it fixes it? also, can you find out some reason that triggers the high cpu load?

I get very similar results when plus is running, I have 0 CPU usage when Messenger is idling and about 20-25 mb ram usage.

Operating system: Windows Vista RC2 Build 5744
Messenger Build: 8.1.0168.00_ClientV8.1
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 +300 1.8ghz
Plus! Build: 4.11.0.254 - No Plugins - Plus! Chat Logging Enabled

RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by Menthix on 12-15-2006 at 12:49 AM

I had very similar problems like Maikel has. I ended up uninstalling both WLM and MP!L completely and reinstalling both again after reboot since I didn't have the time for a pretty solution, right now everything runs fine on the new build.

High CPU load started directly after sign in for me, made WLM freeze all of the time and practically impossible to chat with.

MP!L 4.11
WLM 8.1 build 168


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by Fergy on 12-15-2006 at 03:51 PM

Ok scrap that, i rebooted the new WLM and it choked. When Plus! was installed, whenever I opened up the contact list, it'd die, and without plus! a conversation box would make it crash. So i reverted to the latest stable version, which is the first ever time I have ever needed to do that!

However the CPU didn't overload, just jumped to 50% for a split second before it crashed!


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by ryxdp on 12-16-2006 at 03:35 AM

You might want to give us your CPU type and everything.

If this [somehow] didn't get you any closer to solving the mystery, accept my apologies.:$


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by Brazuca87 on 01-12-2007 at 04:25 AM

Well, I'm having the very same problem. With WLM 8.1 the process "System" uses all my CPU, making it impossible to chat, when it doesnt crash instantly.

Still trying to find a solution for that.

My Specs: P4 1.7Ghz, 512Mb RAM, WinXP SP2

If anyone has a clue, plz help :)

BTW, Im having that problem with or without MP!L.. And its only on 8.1.xxx
On 8.0 I never got such problem


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by Fuse on 01-12-2007 at 03:45 PM

try using ReduceMEM

RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by wilflare on 02-03-2007 at 03:52 AM

sorry to bump this thread up
face this issue also
CPU usage shoots up whenever i login messenger.
and yea it's System that takes up ...


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by Odin.EXE on 02-03-2007 at 09:12 AM

Yeah it happen to me too, even on 8.0. It happen after i reinstalled 8.0 (I didn't upgrade to 8.1 Beta)

Well it's just annoying where my CPU fan will spin fast and usage rose up for awhile... But beside that it does't bother me... it Doesn't cash and only happen when I logged in.


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by -dt- on 02-03-2007 at 12:08 PM

happens most of the time for me, with and without plus, its quite an evil bug :(


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by CookieRevised on 02-04-2007 at 12:32 AM

If it only happens when you log in, then that is quite normal and not a bug at all.... When you log in Messenger does an extreme lot of stuff, of course your CPU usage is going to be higher then. And if it is the top most application running at that moment it automatically gets all the available CPU usage.

When you start up any other program (eg: Word or whatever) your CPU usage will go up too. That is how Windows works (and thank god for that, otherwise programs would randomly slow down etc)...

;)


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by CrazyOlli on 02-05-2007 at 09:35 PM

Hello,

i've also a problem with WLM 8.1 and MSN Live Plus.
Since i installed the WLM 8.1 every time i receive a ne conversation or a Message with smilies, the messenger hang up. After a short time it will continue working.
I've disabled all plugins/scripts and i don't use any smilieplugins or i never had installed such a programm.

I hope it is a bug and it will be fixed, because 2 computers, same problem. With 8.0 no problems.

I disabled Text-logging, it alsa hang up.

Thx for help & sorry for the terrible english

Olli

Which version? The BETA 8.1 or the 'official' 8.1?

Mini correction (trying to educate people the right terminology): Messenger Plus! Live


I used have this problem too with the BETA (which is why I asked), but the 'official' 8.1 fixes this problem.
RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by CrazyOlli on 02-05-2007 at 09:56 PM

I'm sorry for MSN Live Plus.
Now: Messenger Plus! Live ;)

WLM 8.1 [Build 8.1.0178.00]
First I had the Beta for 3 days and then they released final.
One version german, the other english.

Thx for your help


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by bud_007 on 02-10-2007 at 06:40 PM

Yeah I have the latest versions (WLM 8.1.0178.00) and MPL 4.11.0.254 and whenever I log in it freezes for like a minute. Then when I start conversations or when people log in it freezes again. Then after like 5 minutes it's kinda normal. But it does freezes times to time. It's really annoying. I might switch back to 8.0.

Does it still happen when you disable all the scripts?
Does it still happen when you uninstall Plus!?
RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by JohnKingfisher on 05-16-2007 at 08:54 PM

You guys seem to know what you're talking about. There must be an inherent problem cause my PC hangs with 100% CPU usage everytime I try to use Windows Messenger Live and I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times.When this happens task manager says "Not responding" This situation remains until I close Wndows Messenger! HELP!!

Is there any solution?
I am having the same problem.


RE: High CPU usage in 8.1 by msnhelp on 09-13-2007 at 04:07 PM

To all that have this strange problem

I had the same problem for 24 hour and it made me crazy till I find a solution.
At first make the size of login screen to max then push the sign in button if you logged in with out problem and you saw the contact list you have this strange problem so that I got, must recently you add some person that he put some text beside of his nick name that caused this problem easily remove the most recently add contact or check that which one of your contact changes its text and remove that person to solve this problem for me it was one contact form china special Chinese sentence.
I hope it could help you it works fine for me.
I only opened one account here to help other people and I think this is my first and last post.
Best regards
