how many contacts do you happen to have? I remember reading somewhere that the more contacts you have the slower it tends to get and can freeze Messenger up.

[font=Verdana]I've certainly had an issue when using MSN and trying to sync my photos with contacts... the frikkin PC freezes everytime MSN tries to sync.

I've just read somewhere that firewalls can cause an issue with this function, preventing the uPnP port from doing whatever it needs to do...

Sooo... advise is to disable any firewall you have to try it (including windows firewall)

Yet to try it myself... but will be doing shortly :S

if you have Zone Alarm, then yes definately as it is known to cause huge problems with Messenger.

3rd party firewalls could indeed give some problems. But the default Windows Firewall certainly does not give any problems with it. Disabling it wouldn't fix it.

RE: Windows live messenger freezes on me all the time!
I'm having real fun and games with MSN, everytime i send a msg, wink or a nudge etc it freezes on me for a few seconds, and then starts again.  I am unable to do anything with it, not even minimise the box when it does this.:S
It has only started doing this in the last week, and I've not changed anything, added or taken anything away.^o)
It is so annoying, that I am not enjoying using it at the moment.
I am running Windows Live Messenger version 8.1, on windows xp.(Y)
If anyone cud help it wud b gr8tly appreciated.8-|

I have the same problem.  It seems to be worse when someone initiates the message, because when i reply to that...it locks up.  If I send the message and leave it open....i have fewer problems.  I am running the exact same setup on two different systems and only one has this problem.
