Replying to Windows Live Messenger

Since you have no firewall could it be a trojan or something that accesses the web is gimping your bandwidth or something along those lines? I'm not sure if it can happen but I remember when I got some spyware and a few trojans my net would constantly fall then peak again

I never had a problem only when my internet went down and i've been using windows live messager for about a year now i use it for all my friends and all i really like it and i have no problems only for sound lol but i fixed that and i really love it i prob wouldn't use the internet if i didn't have msn messager.

How can I open two msn in same time?

Nah Microsoft Support is useless, and so is Rockstars web support for that matter lol, they can't take any contstructive criticism or fault and they think a 1 men, 1 time test proves their right.......... yep they are real bright lol.

That's strange, it could be just a ISP issue? If both of you are on the same ISP network, then that may explain it. Just contact Microsoft support. I don't think we can do much here

lol nobody is noticing "my missus has identical issues" .

She has no firewall (like me), seperate ISP's, seperate computers and locations, but the same OS and Windows Live Messenger (that being XP SP2, though firewall is crippled).

I wouldn't know if anyone else suffers it as I don't talk to anyone else on msn these days, but these problems started with Windows Live Messenger, and I used to have issues with blank contact lists (so I re-started the list and only put the missus).

Are you 100% absolutely sure that it's not a problem with your connection temporarily restarting? I too use MSN messenger aka Windows Live Messenger and I don't get this problem unless there's a problem with my internet connection. Do you have some kind of firewall that might be causing the problem? I'm not a computer expert or anything, but it could also be the network. I remember back in the day when I used to use msn a lot, there used to be problems with it shutting off and starting back again for no reason, but this problem has stopped.
If it's a consistent problem, how about doing a clean install and see if it keeps happening?

Yeah so I would have thought, but I did mention my missus is having identical issues with a 100% clean install and no patches what so ever...... that's the part I can't explain.

I think it's that patch you installed. My life revolves around the Windows Live network (and yes, I hate M$, but the majority of Torontonians use WLM). My Windows Live has yet to crash unless my connection died.

Have been using MSN/Windows Live Messenger for: 6 years (since I was grade 7).

Ahhh I see, I have never used this application before, nice tip, it's not exactly informative, but it's certainly better than nothing.

Here are the messages I can find so far:

Hanging application msnmsgr.exe, version 8.1.178.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.

It doesn't seem to show any other entries (I guess it missed the others for some reason, or it doesn't bother for what ever reason (might have just closed itself rather than hang)).
