I realised once these updates are installed:
MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (KB927978)
Security update for Windows XP (KB920213) (KB923980) (KB924270)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - November 2006 (KB890830)
I have problems with using MSN Messenger 7.5, Windows Live Messenger 8 (I
upgraded from 7.5 to 8 and the problem persists) and Outlook Express.
When I start Windows Live Messenger, instead of showing my normal display
picture with my e-mail address there (so I can just type my password and
login), I see a 'generic' display picture with no e-mail address. Windows
Live Messenger lags tremendously. When I type my e-mail and password (subject
to huge lagging), Live Messenger will just display an error message "Service
temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
When I start Outlook Express to check my Hotmail account, it shows an error
while trying to connect to Hotmail servers.
Upon system restore to a state prior to Windows Update, everything is fine.
Once update reapplied, everything reappears, with exact reproducibility.
System Restore returns to state where everything is fine.
Any ideas of what is happening? If it's a real error, can anyone bring this
up with Microsoft?
