WLM freezes after login

Hi, I am experiencing problem with my WLM. Yesterday my laptop went into
hibernate mode as the battery went flat. When i charged it up again and
'woke' my laptop up i realised i could not use my WLM anymore.
I could login just fine but when my contact list was displayed the WLM will
just freeze. Sometimes Live! Today will show, and the alerts for new mail
will show, but they are inoperational. My cursor will just switch to busy
(hourglass) when i move my mouse over WLM, Live Today, or the email alert.
The top part of WLM indicates that WLM is not responding and i have to
manually end task to close WLM. I've tried all the solutions posted on the
web including reinstalling fully/installing, doing regedit, and even system
restore, but to no avail. I downgraded to 7.5 and i could not use MSN as
well; it was only when i installed 7.0 that i can use MSN without it freezing
up.
One bizzare point is that i could use WLM IF AND ONLY IF i signed in using
another account.
I have erased the client cache by using the %appdata%\microsoft in RUN but
still after i login with my primary account, MSN would just freeze. If i left
it long enough it would be fine but i've only tried it twice so i cant be
totally sure about the length of time. When WLM freezes, CPU activity shoots
up to >90% and consumes way above normal resources.
Would desperately like to seek help from anyone out there.

Hi there


My computer kept freezing up like yours and WLM would just exit. After I
installed the new Flash Beta from Adobe, it worked fine, though, so I suggest
you try that to eliminate any Flash problems. At least this was a problem on
Vista.

Hi,

It just froze, no error message?

No, I did get an error message, saying WLM had stopped working and it was
looking for reasons online (however, this process never finished, so I had to
quit it). Sorry about that.
