I've experienced similar behavior with only one plug-in running. The plug-in was Yahoo! Music LAUNCHcast. I'm not completely sure that it's plug-in related. At the time, messenger was minimised to the system tray, and no music was playing. I have a duel core processor and the CPU usage was at 50% which is consistent with a single thread going crazy (A thread will generally only use one processor, so one processor was tweaked out and the other was mostly idle). I also notice that it was leaking memory. At the time I gave it the axe, it was at 142,764k which is nearly three times the normal amount used while inactive. Similar events have happened in the past but I didn't collect any data at the time. What version were you using? Just curious. (Help->About from messenger's main window is the easiest way to find out.) The version I was using at the time was 8.0.0.683. I upgraded to 8.0.0.711 yesterday. Only time will tell if the problem was cured since it's a fairly random occurrence. Anyone know if these minor revisions are publicised anywhere? The download page only give the major version. I had to download and install it in order to determine the version number. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.
