Windows Live Messenger 2009 not responding in Windows 7

[minmin]

I just reinstalled windows live messenger 2009 in my laptop. I always manage to sign in but it stops responding a few seconds after that. If I'm lucky enough it works for a few minutes. I've tried some suggestions online but they don't work.

Here are the details of the error. Hope it gives a clue on how to solve it.

The program msnmsgr.exe version 14.0.8117.416 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Per your PM: Windows Live Messenger is outside of my area of expertise. I don't use messaging programs.

I found the following bits of info:

Windows Live Messenger 2009 customers should consider upgrading to Windows Live Messenger 2011, provided that they’re using Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7, in order to take advantage of additional security mitigations capable of blocking the spreading of a self-replicating worm.

Microsoft has switched off Active Links in Windows Live Messenger 2009.

“Because we’ve now blocked active links in Messenger 2009, starting [Nov. 12], some customers may also see a notification in the main Messenger window warning them that some features might not be available.”

Possibly this might be related to your problem. More HERE>

Hopefully someone in this forum will be able to assist you.
