Can you access your messenger account at all? Because if it unfreezes a while afterwards you can always set offline messages to appear as an icon in the menu thing (one such icon being the Plus! icon):
Tools -> Options -> Messages tab
There is an option to show your offline messages after you log in, or as an icon.

Try this:
Uninstall every single add-ons, skins, patches. Thereafter, uninstall Windows live Messenger. Delete the folder itself manually; do note that the folder is still named as MSN Mesenger. Do a disk cleanup, and then restart your PC.
Reinstall Windows Live Messenger. If you don't have the installer, you can go to http://messenger.live.com/ . Please do not install the beta that's at ideas.live.com
Do not reinstall any add-ons, skins, patches and/or whatever you've installed for messenger.
Try those steps and report back. In the future, please state the full version of the messenger you are using, the version of those add-ons, patches, skins and/or whatever you installed to enhance your messenger experience and what OS you are using.

AFAIK he hasn't told us whether it unfreezes or not after a while
