Messenger crashes upon restart

Hi, I've used WLM for a while now, and I must say, good job guys!

However, I have a problem that only seems to happen on my computer. Whenever
I have to quit+restart Messenger, when I sign in it crashes. I have sent
several error reports, and although I have found a way around it (I have to
close my Messenger window. If I open it, and keep it open for a second or
two, it hangs again) I can't really do anything except when I'm in a convo
that someone else started (I use Messenger Plus Live, and execute name,
display pic, personal message changes from the chat window).

The one thing that I don't get is what I have done to cause this. Could
someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, or why it is being caused?

Since you have a non official add in (msg plus) you should be looking on
there site for technical help. One suggestion would be to un isntall the add
in and see if you have the same problem if so then we can look into the
problem a bit more but as long as you have that installed know one can be
sure if its a WLM problem or a msg plus problem.

Greetings Simon,

In the error that apologizes for the inconvenience of Messenger shutting down, click the
"click here" link -- in the next
screen, you'll see something like the
following: szAppName : msnmsgr.exe szAppVer : 8.0.0792 szModName : rpcrt4.dll

If you could reply back with what the szModName has in your error, it could be helpful.
