Problems with MSN on Laptop
A couple of weeks ago I began to have problems with MSN and Messenger on my laptop; a day or soafter running Ad-Aware and McAfee. The first time using it after running those things; I got on, but noticed my messenger wasn't hooking up (X on messenger Icon), so I clicked on it to log on; in doing that MSN locked up. I then logged off, and tried it again; this time when logging on it ran really slow. After 10 minutes of trying to log on; I CTRL-ALT-DELETE'd out, and gave up.
I mentioned this problem to my cousin who is A+ Cert. I took it over there and had him take a look at it; then things came up and he wanted to keep it overnight. The next day he called me over to help him with something, and said that my laptop was done. I was thinking "o.k.; he fixed it". I asked him again if he fixed it?..."yup"; he said. Not even telling me everything he did, or was wrong.
I get home and put my laptop bag in my room; not even thinking about checking it out. Last night I decided I wanted just sit in my recliner, and be with my wife in the living room, so I got out my laptop. I logged on, and everything was fine; until I noticed the "X" the Messenger Icon. I clicked on it and again; my laptop...LOCKED UP!! UGHGHGH; I was pissed and still am! A+ Cert. my ***!!! He's just a glorified HACKER!
Can anyone please help me to figure out why it locks up? I would greatly appreciate it... It's pretty sad when you can depend more on complete strangers on a forum; than a family member!

RE: Problems with MSN on Laptop
Well; I fixed it last night and forgot to post. That is what happened though. I hadn't updated the latest version of Live Messenger, and since MSN didn't recognize it; it locked up.
Thanks for the help though. I don't know why I didn't get the update a long time ago, but now its fixed..Oh and I had to repair my e-mail after that for some reason. I had to use this: Regsvr32c:\progra~1\msn\msncorefiles\mailui.dll
