Live Messenger slow

Windows Live Messenger is very very slow.  I use Windows 7 x 64 Ultimate.

When Windows starts in life it takes 1-2 minutes before I can signin.  Then after I signin it takes another 2-3 minutes to display the contacts.

When minmized and I click on it in the taskbar it opens and is empty and you won't see anything for 1 to 2 minutes.

If I try to send a message to someone and I double click on its name or right click and say send IM it takes 1-2 minutes before I have a window opens and then another 1-2 minutes before I can type in the box to send them a message.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall and nothing seems to work.

  • Qosmio G40 - no webcam with live Messenger

    Hello world

    I installed Win 7 on my Qosmio G40 instead of Vista and everything work fine except the webcam that does not work with live Messenger (only) no matter what I do (I tried several drivers, re-installed Win messenger live, close some processes, etc ;) I get this error message:

    '* Cannot start your webcam. "Check if it is not used by another program and retry."

    What the hell can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    I read a lot of discussions about the problems with webcam and messenger Ms.
    The problem with Vista has been resolved by the SP1 from Microsoft Update.
    Now, it seems to be that the same problem with Win 7 looks like a thing of compatibility

    However, because the message says that the webcam is used by another application, I suppose that some background processes lock the webcam

    You must remove webcam and messenger MS startup in msconfig.
    After that, restart the laptop and don t start the webcam software if you want to use it in Messenger from Ms.

  • Tecra M1 & Windows Live Messenger problem

    I recently undated my Windows Live Messenger Version 2009 (Build 14.0.8064.206).

    In a few seconds Messenger being connected in the message "Please tell Microsoft this problem" appeared, i.e. "Windows Live Communications Platform has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. "After you send or do not send error report Messenger closed. It was possible to reproduce every time, and the PC has been restarted. If the error message window was not closed and just moved out of the way Messenger seemed to be working normally.

    I communicated with the help of Windows Live Messenger on the problem, and after sending various system parameters and error logs, they responded: -.

    "This error is triggered because of problems of compatibility between Windows Live Messenger 2009 and your computer (Toshiba) Mobile Extensions.

    To check, try the following:

    1. click on start, run, type taskmgr in the run box and press ENTER or click OK.
    2. in the Windows Task Manager window, click the process tab.
    3. under Image name, locate Tmeejme.exe & Tmeejmd.exe, then click on end process.
    4. click Yes to confirm.
    5. try to connect to Windows Live Messenger.

    You can uninstall the Mobile Extensions but it would be better if you contact Toshiba support for more information on this. »

    The only running two process was Tmeejme.exe, and after the problem has been resolved.

    The version I have installed, as described in Add/Remove Programs, is Toshiba Mobile Extension3 for Windows XP V3.36.00 XP. Anyone know if this problem with the new Messenger been reported before and is at - it a hotfix or an update?

    Hello!

    It's really interesting, but I can offer a solution for you, because I don t have the Tecra M1.

    However, on the Toshiba site I founded a newer version of Toshiba Mobile Extension version 3.84.00.
    But that's why you should look for the Tecra S4.

    Any ideas to fix this?

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
    * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
    * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
    * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
    * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    Hello!

    The webcam on my Satellite L300 works very well so I can't tell what is the reason for this, but have you tried to update to Windows Live Messenger? See the Microsoft Web site for an update.

    In addition, you must update the driver for the webcam that you can find on the Toshiba site:

    Hello
    I'm having problems with windows live messenger on my laptop Tecra. I tried to get help from the microsoft site but since windows XP Professional is installed when I got this laptop they will not help.

    I downloaded the windows live messenger and install it on my computer. When I finished a talk with someone on the internet, the problem hangs and I have to press Ctrl, Alt and del to exit the program.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you very much
    Ben.

    Have you used the beta version?
    I read that Microsoft have released their latest Windows Live Messenger beta updated to testers. I think the latest version is 8.0.0812.
    Maybe this problem occurs because of a bug in the software.

    I recommend you a few specific sites of Windows Live Messenger or support websites. In my opinion, you should find many sites.
    I also recommend to check all older versions

  • Satellite A100: webcam works does not for windows live messenger on Vista

    I recently lost my picture when working for video calls in windows live messenger, the sound of two ways and I can see them, but no one can see me.
    I also bought an external webcam, and it does not work either.

    When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly.
    I tried to update the drivers but they are up-to-date.
    I wonder if it's a problem of Windows live or Toshiba.
    I use Windows Vista Home Premium and the new version of messenger.

    > I also bought an external webcam and it doesn t work either.
    > When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly

    For me, it looks like a windows system problem.
    Usually two webcams operate independently from each other and so I don t think that it is a webcam driver problem I think that it s windows or windows live messenger problem
    Maybe something confused keys registry or files may be some updates to update or similar

    In your case, I recommend you to uninstall the software of webcam software, internal external webcam and the windows live messenger.
    Then, you must clean the BONES and the registry tool like CCLeaner cleaning, for example. It the free tool.

    After this, reinstall the Chicony webcam software and test functionality without installation of windows live messenger.
    If the webcam will be functions then you could install the windows live messenger again.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam does not work in Windows live messenger

    Recently bought a Satellite Pro A300, with integrated webcam. However, when I try to use the webcam in Windows live messenger it comes up with the following error messages.

    * "We couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. » *

    Also this message...

    * "Messenger is not available right now. Please try again later. (0x82000009). "

    Now, the camera is not enabled, and Messenger works normally.

    * HELP! *

    Thank you

    Folic

    When you get the message if another program uses always the camera.

    So, try to disable the webcam software and other e-mail programs in msconfig.
    Restart the laptop and if you want to use the webcam software you need to start the first webcam software.

  • Equium A210 - after update BIOS problems connect to MSN Live Messenger

    Hello

    I just installed the latest update of the Bios for my Equium A210, as has been the first time results attempted this \i watched carefully and everything seems to go correctly but the laptop is restarted, it beeps and showed a checksum error, I chose the option to reboot with 'Default settings'

    Since that I got problems to connect to MSN Live Messenger and I wondered if this might be something to do with the Bios Update, it is also possible to 'come back' to the old Bios somehow?

    Thank you
    Lee

    Hello

    your question isn't really a related problem of the machine. The "Checksum Error" is normal after each update BIOS since the checksum of the BIOS which consists the BIOS settings and the version of the BIOS is not correct due to a modified version of BIOS.
    So, the next time that you update your BIOS you will get a "BIOS checksum error" again. Worry not Don t, it s nothing serious.

    With regard to your Messenger:
    1. uninstall the Messenger
    2. download the latest version from the MSN site
    3. install a new
    4. have fun

    Welcomes ;)

  • Re: Windows Live Messenger stops working after auto-refresh

    Hello
    I'm having problems with my windows live messenger. After a few updates, did to windows, that it does not now. How open it is written that he found an error and it closes and Windows informed when there is a solution to the problem.

    I tried to recover the windows system to the time before that updates that ends the correct functionality of the Messenger and then it worked again, but only for a short period.

    Then, lately after that automatic updates have been made again, the Messenger stops working with the same error message.

    Can someone help me? What could I do to fix this?
    I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling messenger, but without success.

    I think that this has happened when one of the updates have been interrupted in the middle because of a loss of power.

    UINSTALL Live messenger and clean the registry with CCleaner. Note, maybe you must remove Live messenger elements to the registry yourself. Install it again:

  • Satellite P300 - Windows Live Messenger System Crash

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba P300 that works great except for one thing: Windows Live Messenger completely blocks my computer.

    I tried the latest version of 2009, version 8.1, and even the version 7.5 and every time it's the same thing: I correctly install the program, then it starts automatically, I write my email and password, it connects to my account, I see my friends online and a few seconds later my computer freezes. It is said that the program is not responding and I can't even do CTRL + ALT + DEL, at all, nothing happens. My mouse changes when I'm on the side of the window (the double arrow appears as when you want to resize the window), but nothing happens and I have to press the power switch to turn off the computer and restart.

    I had no problem with the version of MSN Messenger or Windows Live Mail online, so I don't really know what can be the problem. Once I managed to speak to someone for about 2 minutes before the problem occurred (which happened the same day where that I bought the computer, since nothing).

    It is a strange problem that I know, but if anyone can help, I would be happy!

    See you soon

    Hello!

    I agree with you it s a strange problem and I've never heard of this.

    You use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows? If you have your own version of Windows should reinstall using the Toshiba recovery disc. Also, if you are running the factory settings, you should try to reinstall Windows. Maybe it's a problem with a corrupted system file

    Have you noticed any problems with other programs or is that Windows Live Messenger?

    Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

    Good bye
