O.P. RE: Messenger Changes my Screen Resolution
Window XP Home Edition.
I have Norton anti virus and firewall
Windows defender
Spybot Search & Destroy
Adaware personal
All run regularly manually and automatically.
I have done the following to rectify the situation:
Uninstalled Windows Live via Add/Remove
Deleted MSN Messenger directory from Program Files
Cleared all files from Temp directories
Deleted every thing from Internet Options
Emptied Recycle bin
Run Disk Clean up and Defrag
Run Norton system works WinDoctor
Deleted the IconCache.db file (worth a try)
Increased the Max Icon Cache size in registry (again worth a try)
Installed previous Messenger version 7.5
Updated video driver files
The reinstall of version 7.5 and a fresh complete download and install of 8.1 were downloaded using another machine.
I do not have any Messenger third party ware installed.
At present I do not have Messenger installed and every thing is OK.
I have a faint suspicion a complete reformat and install may be needed as I have noticed that things have been slowing down over the past few months ever since I had to replace the power supply.
