O.P. Huh?  MSN Messenger huge resource hog
Without MSN Messenger clients open I have a commit charge of 268MB used (task manager read). When I open 3 MSN clients (latest 7.0777 version) my usage goes up to 756MB!. So the 3 MSN clients are using approx.500MB of precious resources...why? Is this normal??

When you do Ctrl+Alt+Del, how much are the individual Messengers using? The one I have running right now is using 23MB.

Mine uses ~ 27 mb...

I have my suspicion that this is caused by patches... The Mess patch caused me to use around 40 mb mem, and brought be a instable MSN....

I suggest you download a "fresh" 7.0.0777 and patch it up to 7.0.0813, this should solve some speed issues like with signing in...

O.P. RE: MSN Messenger huge resource hog
In my case each msnmsgr.exe is using approx.9MB, but for some reason it is making the system load up to 800MB and going up with time.
The only patch I have is Plus! (using ~2.5MB) and A-Patch (which I guess is not running). By the way where can I get the 813 patch from? I found this klink from messs but it's beta, not final:

If I end each of the msnmgr.exe processes the commit charge count goes down below 300MB. Anyone has an explanation for this?

You can find the patch here at the MSNblog

I see the link they gave is down.. Try NoRoom's space:


There are 2 links there, 1 hosted at the spaces.. That one should up :)

Thanks Sypher. I already uninstalled/reinstalled MSN 7.0.777, applied the 813 QFE patch and then applied latest A-Patch. Everything working fine and stable, but the usage count as shown in Task Manager is still the same, about 855MB for 3 MSN clients open. As said, if I close the 3 clients the system usage goes down below 300MB so it's MSN that's wasting huge resources for some reason.

What do you mean by "system load up to 800MB" and "the commit charge count"? I think you're confusing some things here... Can you post a screenshot of the thing you mean where that figure is shown?
