I use messenger a lot, and every now and then it just freezes. Sometimes I am doing a lot with it, e.g. a number of tabbed convos open, a game and/or webcam, but other times I'm just using it for a single convo with nothing going on.
Sometimes it just freezes the whole machine, but mainly it just freezes everything to do with messenger; tray icon, open convos, contact list etc. When I try to close any window or use the tray icon the mouse pointer disappears when over the windows/icon. This seems strange.
Usually, after about 2 minutes, it sorts itself out and just goes back to normal, other times it's logged me out and is trying to log me back in, and once it just crashed and I had to reboot
.
A few times, I've increased messenger's priority in Task Manager, and this does help (if set to Above Average, and not higher!). But I don't want to have to do this every time I use it, and I believe switching priorities can cause more problems
.
I understand that this could be a processor problem, but is anyone having the same problem?
Thanks for any help.
