Ya, this is nothing to do with Norton Internet Security, I've elminated that by disabling all background services & other programs that normally load & run at startup (see above post). There's something about MSN v7.5.0299 (final, public version) & Messenger Plus! v3.9.4 that just don't "get along" - at least on my machine.
