bleh! i hate to bring this back from the dead but, i seem to be experiencing msn software freezing up and pegging my cpu to 50% or higher non-stop every time i open msn software to check my mail. it won't happen with just messenger active, but does with msn active. IE seems fine though. i tried reducing all running procs to a minimum, re-installed msn and messenger several times with various installed options to no avail. have checked for spyware and viruses as well.
the only thing i did not do is clean the registetry of any msn because i don't know how. can anyone diagnose this crap?
when i check task manager, it says msn.exe is pegging the cpu non-stop. this happens about 30 seconds after i open msn.
