Just a question, hopefully its welcome..... But has anyone had any problems with Windows Live Messenger?

For the past few months i have been having problems and its driving me insane! First i thought it was Spyware - No, Virus - No so what else could it be?

Problem is all of a sudden my CPU monitor shows its using 100 CPU on WLM, so i end task it and it drops back to normal 3-4% then like 20secs later WMP will topple and start using 100% CPU, its like a domino effect and i have never been able to end task them both.

It frezes up that much that i just have to push the reset button which i hate doing!

Anyone had any problems like this?

Any help or direction would be appreciated!

PS surprisingly i havn't found anything on the net about this problem

[Pauly33GTS-t]

it is a known issue. I would try searching the net more for "MSN crashes computer" or "Live messenger crashes computer" you might find results.

if that dont work, update your windows box with all the patches, if that doesnt resolve, delete live off ur computer then use CCLEANER to clean up your registry files (can be found on www.tweaksrus.com), then reinstall msn live. i cant believe im doing my day job, within my day job, at work, on a SAU forum lmao.

One of my mates is worse, he is in a number 1 clan for Enemy Territory and he has his 'pro gamer' room. The thing is he doesn't look like your typical geek, he has his room with a mini bar, massive tv, all your cool stuff then he just closes the door to the other room if any girls come over. Massive neon case, random monitors and computer shit every where, its hilarious.

lmao, my pad is cool, ferrari flags on the walls, micheal shumacher pictures all over the place and ac milan banners and a few girls, and then in the study it looks like a freakin computer tech area workshop. its my job if any1 asks lol. i just happen to muck around with technology at home wihtout caring for it very much. my cars coming in soon so im probbaly get pretty bored with computers for a while.

its made in ireland thats why its f**ked lmao.

lol@ assortment of disney movies in background

[Madaz]

so u recon it should of been left in the bin ?

any ideas on data recoverey program

[Pauly33GTS-t]

let me know what and why it happened (if any reason) and i will be able to tell you if its recoverable or not.

[Bl4cK32]

If he snipered it off his neighbours trash id say he wont know why it got thrown out

[Madaz]

ive asked 2 questions i think SAZilla was talkin about the data recovery of the hdd

a program called 'Get Back Data' works but its 79 bux US

my mate doesnt want to pay that much to recover some photos

we had to format his PC becuase it wasnt loading and wasnt going into safe mode

its only low level format just need a cheap good program to recover formatted data (i dont pirate either)

[Rolls]

Ive got a dos program that will restore entire partitions provided you havent really done anything since the format. I purchased it a while back but I'll happily email it to you.

[Madaz]

1) where do i buy it (see previous post)

2) does it show you every file that was on the drive before formate and let you choose which ones to recover

im seriously thinking of just shelling out the beans for the program my self and then charge my mate a service fee for recovering his data

[Cubes]

Madaz,

So its only been formatted? Nothings been installed?

I use this little utility on my usb drive.

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html

Its not the best but its lightweight and does the job well providing you don't overwrite data. Most likely it won't work if the volume has been formatted.

I haven't really looked hard but there appears to be a few utilities that are free ware and work with formatted drives.

[Madaz]

cheers yes formated reinstalled OS and 11gb of stuff back on a 120gb hdd

my mate seems to think it writes to totaly blank sectors first

the hdd was never full either only about 11gb before total crash

[Pauly33GTS-t]

When you format a hard drive it does not completely wipe the disk by writing Zeroes to the HDD. That is the difference between a quick format and a normal one. If the disk had been quick formatted and only 1 large lartition setup on the new disk then your chances for recovery are pretty good, but if the data was written in the first sectors of the HDD like your windows installation and you never defraged then your chances are pretty slim. From what I understand anyway.

[Madaz]

thats partly correct SAZilla

as my mate explains it better he claims a government format is where data 0 and 1 is written on the disk 7 times would take all night to format your disc this way

both ways to windows format quick and full are only low level format meaning data is recoverable

i did say 1 program can recover it but it cost 79us i ran the program and have seen all the data is there that i need just need to pay for it now

any ways im trying 1 from the site that cubes posted sumtimes it takes a fresh set of eyes searching for a program that i missed
