Re: messenger "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies[ at ]jonathankay.com> 12/5/2008 1:32:33 PM Hi Fly, Interesting. How long have you actually waited for it to unfreeze? It might be worth waiting up to a minute or two just to see if it releases. Additionally, is this completely reproducible? In other words, can you launch Messenger, open up a conversation window, close it and then it freezes -- without actually saying anything? Finally, do you have the message history on? In slightly older machines, after you've spoken to someone and close their window, Messenger may appear to freeze as it parses and saves the message history for that contact. If it's on, it might be worth testing just to turn it off temporarily, do whatever you do to normally cause this problem and see if that helped or solved it. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "fly1one" <fly1one[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DE28865E-E6BB-4EB3-A077-FDF3E59AF7CA[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: messenger fly1one 12/8/2008 7:36:01 PM sorry for delay in replying, it locks till i can close it, one strange thing though it seems to only happen or mainly happen when i talk to one person. or if that person im's me and i am away and they close there end down then it locks here, it's windows xp and pc's about 1 yr old, to sum it locks when either end closes window or signs out if my im window is open, i am signed in to internet 99% of time, the only change that i have done that might effect it or not . is changed me email on my account but i dont see how that would effect it. have tried uninstalling and reinstalling messenger but that did'nt work. hope this helps -- fly "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi Fly, > > Interesting.
