SOLVED! MSN Live Messenger 8.1 50% - 100% CPU Utilisation

[Hansi]

Jag skriver det här på engelska för jag tror det är många som googlar efter en lösning på det här problemet... Vi har inte haft får MSN messenger igång under någon vecka för det drog tokmycket CPU på min dator efter uppgradering till 8.1. Nu verkar jag ha löst det:


I Solved my Messenger CPU problems!

I have had problems with 50% CPU (100% of one of the kernels) usage on the SYSTEM process since upgrading to MSN Live Messenger 8.1

This is what i did:

(My MSN is swedish, i will try to guess the correct english names on the options)

1: Remove all SHARED FOLDERS

Changed options:

2: General, below "Login" uncheck Shos Windows Live Today when logging in

3: General, below "Show my contacts", uncheck Show pictures of others

(I really think #3 did the trick...)

4: Messenges, i disabled ALL checkboxes for emoticons, vibes, write by hand etc

5: Notifications and sounds, i disabled ALL checkboxes and ALL sounds

6: Shared folders, i unchecked "Use shared folders instead of sending onte file at a time"

7: Tabs, i selected Hide Tabs

8: Privacy, i unchecked "Show notification when other users add me to their contact list"

9: Security, I unchecked everything except "Allow links in chat window"



...and just because i was happy for a minute now, my CPU went back on 50% for the SYSTEM process. Well, back to the drawing board.

I will now try patches to remove the ADS, in case the ADS are causing problems.

After that, I will go back to 8.0.0812.


Any other tips ARE APPRECIATED!!!

Jag har 8.1 & jag har inget sånt problem nu när jag kollar i aktivitetshanteraren ligger min CPU användning på 2% med den igång + ett anatal program, processer är 59 allokerat 306 MB av 1250 MB

OK now i have it running w/o cpu problems. Finally.

I used A-PATCH from

http://www.apatch.org/downloads.php

to remove the ads/banners.

I also tried contacts->filter contacts->online contacts only

And waited for MSN messenger to to whatever it had to do for several minutes with high utilisation.

I hope this helps someone, as i found MANY forum posts where people had problems but no real solutions.

....and there she blows again...

Got some chat windows running (lot of customers use MSN for support etc) and cpu is through the roof again.

No, back to 8.0 now, ive had enough!

Downgraded to 8.0.0812

All is good.

I will try the next build of 8.1 when it comes. I will not touch 8.1.0178 ever again.
