Thanks for your enthusiastic support...

I am going to try namooth's suggestion about completely getting Live off my PC, only because I really dont believe that I got heaps of messages offline.

If that doesn't work, then it must be the offline messages. I dont have Stuffplug and Discovery on my computer either. If it IS the offline messages, is there any way to get rid of the problem?

any way:

    uninstall again and delete messenger folder in Program Files, also delete the following folders and registry keys:
    C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
    C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Contacts
    C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger
    C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Communications Clients\Shared
    Then restart your computer, and reinstall WLM, it should work then.

No..It won't work if the problem are the offline messages

So I followed the instructions and did a fresh reinstall of Live...but the problem stayed. Interesting to note that another email address I used froze for a moment like the afflicted one until Live Today came up, and then it was normal.

Except that I have Today disabled for the afflicted account. If there are no other ideas except for offline messages, it must be that. Any help regarding this is again greatly appreciated.

PS. I am going to ask a friend on a seperate computer to log in with the afflicted email, see if it works.

did you try to login "appear offline" ?

No, appearing offline did nothing.

Got the problem solved - it looks like offline messages may have been the culprit. I cant be certain but my friend cleared away the offline messages and shortly afterwards it was useable...

Id like to thank all those people who contributed ideas, I really appreciate it.

I have un-installed everything to do with msn live and it still freezes, but it can't be offline messages coz it does it with all 3 accounts and one of the accounts doesn't have contacts coz it's only used to the email.

What else can i do??
