Greetings Vicale,

If Messenger crashes, you lose everything that happened in that conversation.

If you want to avoid this problem, you might consider using Messenger Plus instead
(http://www.msgplus.net), which has its own Messenger logging/history function which doesn't
have this problem (it saves as the conversation happens).

That said, it shouldn't be crashing that frequently - is there anything specific you're doing
when it crashes?

Hi Jonathan..
I will give messenger plus a try,Though usually I am just surfing the net at
the same time.It does seem to happen more often when I am on Facebook but not
always,It just freezes up wont respond and then off it goes,so I end up
closing the program and restarting it.
