Windows Live Messenger 8.1 crashes randomly on Windows Vista RC2/RTM

January 9th, 2007

Abobe have recently released the latest version of Flash Player which will fix the random crashing problem in Windows Live Messenger 8.1 in Windows Vista RC2 and above, including the final RTM version.

Messenger would hang usually mid-coversation, use up loads of memory and get stuck into a loop (reported up to 600MB of memory if left to its own devices) then crashes for good. Make sure you’re running the 8.1.168 version of Messenger if you have it, and install the latest version of Flash Player.

Download Windows Live Messenger 8.1
Download Adobe Flash Player 9.0.28
