My Msn Is Really Slow & Freezes Alot by AyseBabey(: on 08-30-2009 at 01:46 PM

Hello :)
I have just finished reading a thread which has exactly the same problems as me,
yet to solve the problem they changed their servers.
Im not exactly sure what this means, and Im not sure if it is an option I would like to take so I am posting my own thread in order
to find other solutions.

I Quote from the other thread;

"          - When signing it, the window freezes, before loading and all the contacts that are online, appear to come online all at once, with pop up alerts lining the right of my screen


- MSN Games often freeze when loading, or while I'm playing.

- The converstion box will often freeze during a conversation.

- File transfers will fail to send, or I will fail to recieve from a recepitant.

- Messages will fail to send with 'The following message could not be delivered to all recipients:'              "

Also, MSN keeps disconnecting.

I doubt it is my computer, as my computer runs quite fast,
Should I Defrag my computer? Is It the msn?
How can I solve this problem?

Thanksz (:
<3.

Another program could be interfering with Messenger.

Do you have anti-virus or a firewall? Try disabling them.

Also, this bit is a bit more advanced, but you could try starting your computer up in Safe Mode. This runs your computer with the absolute minimum amount of programs.. so you can open up Messenger and see if you have any problems with it. If you don't, you know that something is interfering with it on your normal computer mode.

Note: When choosing an option for Safe Mode, choose 'with Networking', which means you'll be able to connect to the internet. Follow the instructions carefully and if in doubt, restart your computer to return to normal.

Degragging your computer isn't likely to do much. You could try CCleaner which clears temporary files off your computer, to speed it up, including Messenger-related files (just make sure Messenger isn't running).

Good luck.
