One of the two programs you installed is giving you this problem. Check
with Skype and MSN. There have been various issues with Skype and Vista
- the Skype tech support people will know best about this. Or uninstall
both programs and reinstall them one at a time, testing after each
installation to see which of the two is the culprit.
