I had a problem where I couldnt even load windows because Messanger was causing eveything to freeze 9it started out with just the internet) but I fixed it with a reinstall -HOWEVER, now im noticing that my Direct 3D games are crashing, even though my card still passes the Direct X tests -so im going to try and reinstall the video drivers (for a radeon 9600 pro), but the problem originated with messenger (I also notice that some video's can't be enlarged properly too --they stay the same size even though I increase the window size). Please tell me if anyone knows what the hell im talking about, and thanks.

^Please ignore the childish run-on sentences and/or haste of that post(but the issues still stand)

Now its starting to enter, but hang on some games then just freeze -and it's behaving like a power supply problem (Could messenger somehow cause a power supply problem?)

Now it's also freezing when I click some webpages links for no good reason.

Ok..NOW, it doesnt freeze in games....although it REALLY was behaving like a power supply problem.

-I just really need to know what in messenger(7.0) could have caused this? a power surge?
(It seems it should be the other way around)

thanks for any intrest at all.

Somebody watches a lot of "Soap Operas"

Dabba Dabba....Take a deep breath and ask your question again.

Perhaps,you need to use restore.
