I get that same dialog box for my aol account every morning- it doesnt care what i check or what i put in there it keeps coming back
I have 2 computers - one Windows 7 and one running Vista. This morning (9/26/2012) after an Auomatic Critical Update for Windows, both computers ran fine until I opened Windows Live Messenger. When WLM opened virtually all computer resources are taken up by the program on both computers (confirmed through Task Manager - Resources).
I ran two different virus programs and a spyware program with no issues reported. I performed a System Restore on the Windows 7 computer but it had no effect.
I can access my email with no problems through Hotmail.
Any ideas what is going on?
Task Manager does 'not' say 'not responding' but the UI will only get to listing my contacts. Then it freezes.
Yesterday, I was setting myself as appear offline to 2 contacts, when I decided to appear offline to a whole group. After I set the group to 'appear offline' I left Windows Live Messenger alone.
Then this morning, I got a IM from someone (not in the group that was blocked). When I tried to open the window it was frozen, w/o me being able to read the IM.
I decided to 'end task' on Windows Live Messenger and re-open it.
It is always frozen after it lists my contacts.
I then tried messenger on a different computer. It behaves the same. I feel it has to do with the setting I made, 'appear offline' (to a whole group).
I am able to sign in to the web version, but I really would rather not.
The web version doesn't have the ability to set who you 'appear offline' to.
I was able to go into an old windows XP computer (With an older version of Windows Live Messenfer) and sign in,,,,, but that version doesn't have the appear offline option.
Please help.
Thanks
