During every chat, either when I’m receiving a message or when I’m sending one, my msn freezes for a couple of seconds. This can get really annoying because the freeze becomes longer the more messages I get. While it freezes however, I can type more messages (although they dont show up on the screen because its frozen :P)and press enter again and again and once it unfreezes all of them have been sent. Its still reallyyyy annoying. This started happening a couple days ago after I tried to change my windows SID (stupid idea) and stopped the process while it was doing so (even stupider idea) and my windows messed up really bad. It had made it as if I didn’t even have an administrator account on my PC therefore I couldn’t restore. After some experimenting i managed to restore it going through Windows Repair Mode. Everything else works fine now I used registry mechanic to fix all my registry in hopes that it would make WLM work better but it didn’t. I reinstalled and repaired multiple times to no avail. I am currently running deep system scans with bitdefender and I will inform you of the results later. I also reregistered the dll files as well as checked the WLM cleaner. I hope you guys can help. Thank you for your time.
Probably will have to reformat if you were messing with the SID (that’s really a big no-no, especially to stop it mid-change!).
I don’t know anything about SID but if Ven0m feels a reformat is necessary, he knows far more than I do on such matters. And, unless you happen to have a really nasty infection, a reformat will also likely take care of anything that might be related to viruses or malware which might be potentially causing your issues.
Bottom line, if the changes you tried to make and then stopped mid stream have messed up your OS, there is no point in trying to fix WLM until you have the OS straightened out.
the OS is running perfect and system health reports show that nothing is wrong. Its just WLM that is messed up. Its as if it lags. My system spec are 2 x AMD 64 live 4600+ 2 GB RAM so it can handle it as well. I unplugged the tower so no power went to the system, i turned it bak on and it made that loud noise as usual after any power outage or unplugging, and i guess it dumps all cached files or sumtin not exactly sure what happend but WLM works fine for the moment. thank all for you suggestions.
I’d suggest making sure your Flash and Java are the latest versions as well.
If you really want a good (and quick) clean out of your caches etc give ATF Cleaner a try. Here are the instructions for use:
Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download – ATF Cleaner
This program is for XP, Windows 2000, and Vista- Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
- Under Main choose: Select All
- Click the Empty Selected button.
(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser to keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)
Notes for Windows Vista users:
On Windows Vista that “Windows Temp” is disabled, to empty “Windows Temp” ATF-Cleaner must be “Run as an Administrator”
It’s normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.
