Just in case this can save someone else some hair-pulling.....
Windows XP OS/ MSN messenger would start up, sign in, then freeze while
attempting to load online contacts. Windows messenger would appear to not
start, never display anything on the display, yet would be running in the
process list.
I uninstalled, cleaned registry, re-installed, and basically tried
everything to no avail EXCEPT rebooting router. Although I could surf and
send/receive email, there was still some confusion (maybe a port problem?)
at the router. A simple reboot of the router and all problems went away.
