I updated my MSN messenger a while back to Windows live messenger... and all seemed to work fine. Then one day i log on and it freezes. Thinking nothing of it I just used the good old alt ctrl delete and logged back in again and everything was fine. But ever since that happened whenever i wanted to log into windows live messenger it would always freeze up for about 20 seconds before it would unfreeze and actually let me use the program. So i tried deleting messenger and reinstalling it with no luck. The same problem continued when i reinstalled the program. Now things are even worse because when I log on now messenger COMPLETELY freezes and I cant even use it now because it will just freeze up and will remain frozen until i use alt ctrl delete. I tried just about everything.. even a system restore... with no luck at all. Does anyone have any ideas because this is really fustrating since I am stuck using the ancient windows messenger that comes with xp.
