The only thing somewhat similar that happens to me quite frequently while on MSN is that the keyboard locks up. But that happens only when I am typing a rather long "post" , which is not that unusual with my IMing "style" ( Cb, I have seen that big grin of yours !

). Then I just hit the return button to send the unfinished bit and after that everything is back to normal. Looks almost as if MSN was operating with a rather small "cache memory" and cannot process any input after that has been filled up.
Nice to see you again, btw, Sir Tainly !
