I am running Windows XP professional build
2600.xpsp2.030422-1633(service pack 1) and MSN messenger
version 6.0.0602 when I am in MSN messenger and I
attempt to run the Audio/video tuning wizard, Messenger
hangs and my cpu is maxed out at 100% I have replicated
this on 5 different XP pro machines 2 of which are not
mine and do not belong to my domain. The only similarity
that I found is that the Windows usernames all contained
the dollar symbal $ and the percent symbol % . Could
someone create a user account on there XP pro machine
with $ and % in the username and try to replicate the
issue. Thank you
 
I spoke to a Microsft tech and he was able to replicate
my problem. He said "this is very wierd!" I asked him
what solution he had and he told me "send a comment to
(e-mail address removed) and maybe they will fix it in the
next version of windows." what a joke, I bring a flaw
to microsoft's attention and they tell me to send an
email to a wishlist department. Thanks for the help!!!!
