Messenger always hang

[Guest]

After instaling Msn M 6.2 it always hangs when I sign in and interntet
connection data signal is always on. I went back to windows messenger (which
was previously working) and now this always hangs when I sign in. Am using OS
XP Pro on a brand new computer

Have you played around in the services? Start > Run > "services.msc" without
the quotes? Have you disabled DNS client? If I disable that then I get the
same results you're reporting. Other than that I'm just guessing but that's
how I end up with those results.
