Hey guys,
I have a bit of a weird problem here and was hoping someone can assist me in figuring it out.Well to start off i am using the latest version of windows Live messenger.Have been using MSN/Windows Live Messengers for years and never had a problem.Used Live messenger since it was in beta testing.

Lately starting a few weeks ago i begin to have troubles with various things.For example when people send custom emoticons they do not display on my side,When sending a file to someone it begins to transfer about half way through i get disconnected from MSN,If i send my webcam to a friend i get disconected however if they send there webcam first then i send mine second it works fine.These problems came out of no where and i havent got a clue as to why it started.

Now i have Zone Alarm installed (latest version) and Avast also latest version.I thought maybe one of these were causing the issue so i tryed disabling them for testing.Still have the same issues.I then tryed uninstalling Windows Live messenger then installing the newly downloading install EXE from microsoft whcih also didnt fix the issue.

Now im pretty much out of idea's and wanted to see if anyone else has this problem or may have idea's to fix it.

PC specs are
AMD athlon XP 2400+
1GB PC 3200 DDR
Windows XP pro SP2 all latest updates
ASUS Nforce 2 mobo
ATI Radeon 9200 128MB
ATI TV wonder capture card
WinXP Promise ultra133 TX2 IDE controller card
c: 40GB
D: 120GB
H: 80GB
k: 250GB
E: CD-RW
F: DVD-/+RW
G: DVD-ROM
I: media card reader

Think thats about it.Also havent installed any new software recently or made any changes other then uninstalling/reinstalling Windows Live Messenger 2 days ago.
