WLM 8.1 Has Stopped Responding Message

Hi, everytime I sign into WLM 8.1 I get the "WLM 8.1 Has Stopped Responding
And Must Be Shut Down" message. I understand a lot of people have had or are
having this problem with Vista, but I'm on XP Pro. Any idea's how to fix
this? I'm still using 8.0. I've only ever had this problem with 8.1, I even
used the BETA when that came out and that worked fine.

And here's the first few lines of the error message -

AppName: msnmsgr.exe AppVer: 8.1.178.0 AppStamp:45b12d6a
ModName: abssm.dll ModVer: 8.1.178.0 ModStamp:45b12b5e
fDebug: 0 Offset: 00036fbe

Ok, I managed to fix it, so far so good. I was reading over the error
message again and released the problem was with the "abssm.dll" file, which
is the contact sync. I replaced this dll file with the one from WLM 8.0 and
now 8.1 one is up and running fine.
