Re: Messenger Lag



Greetings Rida,

What kind of PC are you using? Windows Live Messenger can actually be pretty demanding on
some older PCs. Since you're using an older version of Norton, I assume your PC is at least
3 years old at the least.

What you might want to do instead is use MSN Messenger 7.0, which is the previous version of
Windows Live Messenger. You'll retain most of the functionality of Windows Live Messenger
(including PC to PC Phone capabilities) but the performance may be better.

You'll need to first uninstall Windows Live Messenger from Add or Remove Programs in the
Control Panel before installing MSN Messenger 7.0.

You can find MSN Messenger 7.0 here:
