trying to find out why my messenger is like deadly slow.
my pc is a hardcore gaming rig
but still msn takes a buttload of time to start up when i start a chatbox its slow. when i klikk on messenger it loads forever and after a minutte its ok
basicly every action takes forever to load with no reason

What are the specs of your "hardcore gaming rig"? What operating system are you using? How long by a rough second count does it take MSN messenger to load once you double click on the shortcut?
