laggy tabbed chats by puppet1991 on 12-13-2007 at 02:17 AM
as soon as i get up to about 5 tabbed chats it lags bad to close or switch conversations. could it be because of transparency or just having so many windows in one window? lol

Some things that would help
RAM: (example 512MB)
OS: (example Windows XP)
Messenger Version: (example Windows Live Messenger 8.5)
Messenger Plus! Version: (example Messenger Plus! Live 4.50.310)

Yeah, sounds like a hardware issue
RE: laggy tabbed chats by puppet1991 on 12-13-2007 at 04:49 AM
i dont think so:
OS: Windows XP SP2
RAM: 1.12 GB
Processor: Pentium 4 3.20 Ghz
Messenger Version: Windows Live Messenger 9 BETA
Messenger Plus! Version: Messenger Plus! Live 4.50

Could it be a compatibility issue between WLM 9.0 and MP!L 4.5?
RE: laggy tabbed chats by Chestah on 12-13-2007 at 06:25 AM
puppet1991 are you an official Microsoft Windows Live Messenger Beta tester?
If not i recommend you uninstall WLM9.0 (as it really offers little in way of benefit over 8.5.. in fact i'd say its probably worse at this stage) and see if the problem persists.
RE: laggy tabbed chats by puppet1991 on 12-13-2007 at 07:51 AM
i turned transparency off and it didnt make a difference
its not a compatability issue between WLM 9 & MP!L 4.5 because its been happening on all versions
as for Chestah's question: thats for me to know and you to find out

It could just be that you have a lot of processes open on the computer which is causing Messenger to lag

doesnt anyone else lag with 5+ tabbed conversations?!?
RE: laggy tabbed chats by andrewdodd13 on 12-14-2007 at 01:38 PM
I don't, and I'm using WLM9 beta.
My specs are also worse than yours - XP SP2 on an Athlon 3200+ with 1.0GB of RAM.
So it's likely that another program is causing interference or is simply hogging up your processor. Check taskman.
RE: laggy tabbed chats by puppet1991 on 12-15-2007 at 01:46 PM
i always check task manager
i cant believe no1 else lags
it takes me like 5 seconds to change tabs if theres more than 5 conversations, what about u?
can u make a video of changing tabs with more than 5 conversations lol
RE: laggy tabbed chats by puppet1991 on 03-06-2008 at 08:46 AM
