Solve : How to stop the Windows Live Messenger "What's New" lag? |
|
Answer» The Problem I am using Windows Live Messenger and this program gets very annoying right when it signs in; it lags for at least 30 seconds and my CPU goes 100% all the time and I can't do much but wait. When did it happen? This problem started occuring when I unselected the 'Show what's new' option in Tools -> Options -> Layout. Not only that, but I went to the actual website (it logs you in with your .net passport and processes what 'what's new' groups you are subscribed to. I had no lag before, when they were all selected. Now that I deselected them all (that means, not using my account for any lame groups I'm not interested in), I get this lag problem, for some reason. What do I wish to do about it? I want to find a WAY to CATCH this SUCKER in its exact subroutine where it is doing something in the likes of loadWhatsNew(); and stop it, or block that method/routine. I'm not sure if I can do it with PE-Explorer, but ideas are welcome. Just as long as I can stop this lag. Info - My laptop is very much *ware (e.g. spyware) free. - I don't want to use other Messengers/programs Have you tried this? close MSN start CONTROL panel add and REMOVE programs MSN 'change' when the wizard comes up select REPAIR wait til the wizard finishes sign in againZbd, Oddly enough, I don't see the uninstaller in its directory and I don't see it in Add/Remove control panel. |
