WinXP Messenger crash on sign-in

No changes to my Windows XP installation except standard updates, but
Windows Messenger now crashes after login. I have subsequently logged in
from a different machine (running WLM) with no difficulty. Still crashes on
my machine.

Symptoms: Messenger starts up fine and accepts my login credentials. Contact
list usually displays and then immediately I get the message "Windows
Messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Windows Event Viewer says: "Faulting application msmsgs.exe, version
4.7.0.3001, faulting module msmsgs.exe, version 4.7.0.3001, fault address
0x000eef2d."

Any suggestions?

Bob
