Windows Live Messenger Help (MSN)

Right, so my laptop has been freezing up on me today, no reason at all. Its behaving now, but MSN isnt. I sign in using my usual account and it displays all online contacts. After about 3 seconds, it just disappears. Nothing in the system tray, nothing in the processes. Ive tried time and time again with the same results..
Yet, when i sign into one of my junk emails, it works fine. No closing down.
Me no understand.

My friend had this problem. I fixed it for him with this :
1.Download WinASO Registry Optimizer v4.1:

2.Download Eset Nod32 Antivirus Home Edition 4.0.437 – 32 bit

3.Install both and place the crack for WinASO
4. Uninstall Msn messenger and delete everything related to it.
5.Run WinASO and start the registy scan and fix all the problems that will appear in the results of the scan.
6.Again with WinASO, do a Registry De fragment it’ll reboot your computer.
7.Start your computer on safe mode, and do a full scan with NOD32.
8.After it’s done, go ahead and start your computer normally and re-install Msn Messnger.
Hope this works.
