longg longg time by dylan! on 12-20-2006 at 10:39 PM
lately(about 1-2weeks) wlm has been taking several minutes to sign in... litteraly like 10 minutes... I timed today and took 8 and a half minutes. I tried re-installing and I disabled all scripts and removed the ones I dont really use and still takes a long time. 2nd problem is my display picture, I used Change me! and now I cannot change my display picture, I open the box and it says the current one can't be used, please create a new one so I try and click ok but then it doesnt change and when I open it again its empty again and there are non in there. again I disabled all scripts and tried re-installing but its just broken

have you tried noroom's contact list manager to clean your lists?
it doesnt delete your contacts... it may speed up sign in...
RE: longg longg time by dylan! on 12-20-2006 at 11:14 PM

still takes over 6 minutes
edit: been over 10 minutes and still not signed-in
*bump*

RE: longg longg time by Wast on 12-21-2006 at 11:21 PM
How many contacts do you have on your allow list, or, in general, your contact list?
RE: longg longg time by dylan! on 12-21-2006 at 11:51 PM
559 total(mobile,online,offline)

Do you acctually know all of them? Delete some of them (like 100) and try again, i only have 100 and it takes about 2 secs to sign in
RE: longg longg time by dylan! on 12-21-2006 at 11:54 PM
yes
RE: longg longg time by RebelSean on 12-22-2006 at 05:26 AM
I'm having the very same problem, but I only have around 300 contacts. It's strange. I rolled back to 8.0 and the problem went away, re-installed the latest 8.1 build and it came back. Something isn't right with it.
Dylan: When you actually get signed in, does it go as far as lagging your entire system? It's doing that for me.
RE: longg longg time by dylan! on 12-22-2006 at 05:30 AM
yes... and the first like 5-10 minutes while its signing in its so lagged I can't open firefox or anything else until I'm signed in I delete some contacts I havent talked to in over 2-3 weeks and it got a little faster but not very noticably
edit: wlm version 8.0.0812.00
mpl version 4.11.0.254

When signed on, hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete and check how many processes you're running- also the CPU Usage.

that's alot, more than normal. i think you should delete the ones you dont talk to that much BUT don't block them, that way they can still talk to you if they want.

I'm sure it's normal, as we both said, it's only happening when we try to sign-in to WLM.
RE: longg longg time by Voldemort on 12-22-2006 at 04:46 PM
Its been happening to me too lately, i will revert to 8.0 in a few mins.... it doesnt lag for me when connecting, but i can't have a convo open because it freeeezes

RE: longg longg time by DarkMe on 12-22-2006 at 06:23 PM
Im on 8.1 and it only takes like 15 seconds to sign in.
I only have around 200 contacts
Although sometimes i sign in wlm freezes and sometimes crashes =/
RE: longg longg time by dylan! on 12-22-2006 at 08:01 PM
but I'm on 8.0 and its doing this... for all of you its 8.1... I am down to under 300 contacts and my cpu is at like 4% average and sometimes it goes to 100 for a couple seconds... and not many tasks
RE: longg longg time by Wast on 12-23-2006 at 12:24 PM
Quit some processes maybe? Make sure you know what you're doing though.

I'm not sure if you've already tried this, but see if this helps any. It didn't for me. Click!
