Hello everybody,

I don’t know if this is the right forum to ask this question… anyway, here it is:

When running MSN Messenger version 6 or 7, it signs in and suddenly freezes. The only option I have is to hit CTRL + ALT + DEL and stop the program manually.  
I have WinXP Pro SP2. Uninstalling and re-installing Messenger doesn’t help, even if I remove “MSNMessenger” from the registry first. It’s not the Firewall either…

Can someone help? I searched Google, and alot of people seem to have the same problem with WinMe, Win2K or WinXP. I didn’t find any solution so far. :puzzled:

Thanks in advance!
