I've noticed that sometimes, with 137, the contact list goes all black when Messenger starts. I'm not the only one whos seen this (someone's just been on IRC with this problem).
I'm wondering if it's a bug/incompatibility with 137, as I haven't seen it with any other version of Messenger. What do you guys think?

Yeah, this just happened to me too and was about to post a topic about it

IMO this is related to low resources and/or not-up-to-date drivers (or bad installed ones).

Neither of which I suffer from.
Anyway, someone will eventually find a solution (go Patchou )

i have this problem too its really anoying like it goes black and then msn starts useing 100CPU usage and i have to slowling get the mouse over to the tray icon and exit then restart msn and then it usaly works

i have had this problem a few times too.  the messenger plsu recover windows comes up and asks me to restart msn and try fix MP!3.

oh but i only have 127 contacts on the account it happens on, its never happened on my other account

It's nothing to do with contact list length, as I have only 31 contacts.

So, basically, we can rule out:

• Graphics card drivers
  
• Low resources
  
• Contact list length
  
• Allow List length

IMO, this only leaves:

• Messenger 6.2.0137 bug
  
• Incompatibility between Plus and Messenger 6.2.0137

Since it happens to users of Plus, I'm tempted to go for the latter.

I was the person in the IRC room yesterday which brought up this subject. Appearantly Microsoft is addressing this problem. I have had the same problem again today, but this time it's different, I couldn't send any messages to my contacts, I couldn't check my email, I know it's not Plus! causing the problem, but the error message that showed up this time is Buffer overflow.....application had to be shut down in order for me to continue.

Hopefully It gets fixed soon, because I don't want to keep using Windows messenger...it's just not the same.

Athlon 2600+ slow i think not.
Anyway, the reason I mention a possible incompatibility is basically I'm not leaving any stone unturned.
