Windows Live Messenger

[LiAM]

I have Windows Live Messenger.

When I log in (which I always appear offline first) it's fine.

Some reason, when I first type, it freezes and spends about 15 seconds loading the text, so while offline,
I type anything into the conversation to get the chat to work properly (i.e. when I type it types at the same time).

Then I appear [color="#00FF00"]online[/color].

It's fine, for about a minute or two. No matter how much I avoid conversations or start furious amounts of them, it always stops for a second then freezes and becomes [color="#FF0000"](Not Responding)[/color]. This is when the window turns white and I end the app. with Task Manager (before Windows closes it down).

This same happens about 3-5 times before I can appear online without any problems.

-The only solutions I've thought of would be uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but after reading a few Help sites, they found this didn't fix the problem.

The only add-ons I have WLM is: [color="#FF8C00"]Messenger Plus![/color]
I've tried logging in while I have no applications running, i.e. internet, games or tools. I've also tried whilst having many apps open.

[u][b]What I've done to try and fix this:[/b][/u]
Deleted all my E-Mails from Hotmail (3963) - Nothing noticed yet.

I have the same problem but mine is for all Status updates, mine also makes Winamp crash at the same time, so I've stopped logging in. I don't think its the internet, it seems more like the program is at fault.

ebuddy.com or meebo.com let you go on MSN from the internet. It doesn't fix your problem, but it might help stay in touch with contacts until it's working again.

Its one of these:

1. your internet connection

2. your computer (too much "anime" saved? ;D)

3. can you ask questions like this here?

It's pretty much bare. Around half of the memory storage is still free.

And I've also cleaned it with the [b]Disk Cleanup[/b] and sorted everything with [b]Disk Defragmenter[/b].

[b][size="2"]The appear offline feature literally shuts down most features on Windows Live as it was designed to save power. (Ironic?)
I suggest putting your status to somthing like 'Away'.
But the problem could be based at your internet. If it continues, email Windows.[/size][/b]
