Windows Live Messenger constantly freezing
Hello! This problem of mine has to do with Windows Live Messenger [msn]
Since I've installed windows 7 and tried msn ive had this problem. Starting from login, the program is totally unresponsive for about 2 minutes and than all of a sudden it unfreezes and everything pops up and works. But, in intervals of around 10 seconds the program always freezes for about 5 seconds than unfreezes. So if im typing a message to someone the words will stop appearing as I type until 5 seconds or so pass, than what ever I typed during the freeze will instantly show. These freezes happen in chat windows, main window, and even as I browse for pictures/files to send. Opening the emoticons window causes msn to freeze totally for about 1 minute.
Is there a fix for this? I read somewhere that it may have to do with windows firewall and securities? I have the firewall off, but through experience it seems that windows firewall filters certain things regardless unless you find the specific exception...
