I have this same problem on my msn, every single time i log on it freezes after 2-3 seconds and ends up not responding. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled this 5 times +, ive repaired it, ive tried many different versions on msn incl 7, 8 and the new 2011 version is not compatible with my laptop. I am running windows XP, windows live messenger was working perfectly until yesterday. I tried Jamboms theory just before in Regedit, restarted computer and tried again but still no luck. Any other ideas?
I have done virus, malware, spyware and trojan scans with no results. this is so confusing!
The only version you should try using is Windows Live Messenger 2009, no other versions are intended to work for you. Make sure you have ALL other versions of Messenger uninstalled cleanly and all traces of files gone, then go to the Windows Live Messenger website and download Windows Live Essentials and then if the problem still exists we can troubleshoot better.
Do you have any add-ons for Messenger installed?
