Windows 7 - Latest Windows Live Messenger Freezes Whole Computer
Asked By crztking

Hi,
I recently updated the latest Windows Live Messenger and encountered a
problem. When I pressed the "Sign In" button, the messenger freezes and
thus freezes my whole laptop. The whole laptop becomes really slow and
takes about 20 - 25 minutes just to open task manager.
I have tried reinstalling after removing the program with all the
possible registery entries and folders that I could find. Still, no
luck.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. Also, I scanned for virus and
my computer is totally clean.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Why do you still use Windows XP? Windows 7 Give your reasons. Do you plan to upgrade ever? If so, when and why? If you use both XP and 7, do you ever plan on ditching XP for good? What will you do when support is dropped to the point where this OS will be problematic with new hardware? Personally I am waiting for Windows 8 to release a second service pack. XP sucked when it first came out until SP1. Even then, I find the moron-babysitting did not work, it had to enabled then disabled to be disabled for real. Sigh. . .

Chkdsk / Scandisk Windows 7 I still use Windows98 most of the time. I am not fond of XP, but I have XP on my laptop computer, and must keep it to use the WIFI. One thing that really irks me about XP is that it no longer has Scandisk. Chkdsk is really a major pain to use dropped it in favor of this worthless and annoying Chkdsk. . . . .

Windows 7 I am running Windows XP SP3 Home Edition on 1 of 4 PC's and it is been updated through early April 2011. Prior to this, accessing Windows Updates (via http: / / www.update.microsoft.com / windowsupdate / v6 / default.aspx?ln = en-us) worked to understand why. Recently, around the middle of April 2011, each time I went to Windows Update, the page initially appears and I can briefly see the 2 buttons (of which Get Microsoft Update today!"
