Corrupted account?

Hello, I need a little help here.. :]


For the last few days, I haven't been able to use the Windows Live Messenger.
I can login just fine, but right after the client receives the contacts list
it somehow starts consuming up to 100% of my CPU usage.. And never get back
to normal.

Other clients (Gaim, meebo) will work like a charm.. But Live Messenger won't.
No matter what computer I'm on, it'll 'crash', while other accounts won't.

I have no idea about what could be going on.. The last thing that happened
before that was that a friend of mine was on "Appear offline" and he said he
would send me a file... MSN simply crashed. Could never login again, since
then...


Thaks for your time, and sorry for any English mistakes! ;]

Sounds like your contact store has gone a bit screwy.

You can try the resolution posted on this blog entry to 'reset' your contact
store (note that the issue described doesn't match your observations, but
the fix is the same).

Aww.. Unfortunately it didn't work.. :/

As I stated on my first post, the problem isn't on this computer.. It
happens on any terminal I use. Resetting the policies didn't change it at all.
