As you are using XP why not use Windows Messenger instead, it is far more stable and less troublesome than MSN Messenger.

ill try that  thank you  for your time and trouble

No trouble at all, I think you will find it more stable.

Interesting that Microsoft still use version 4.7 (which was the most stable version) in XP while MSN have got to 7.5 ?

Post back so we all know if it resolves your problems
