MSN Messenger w/SP2

[MrCobra]

Hope someone can shed some light on this for me...

After installing service pack 2 everything runs and behaves normally except when msn messenger 6.2 is open with voice chat. Problem is when doing a voice chat, web sites and downloads go really slow. When voice is turned off web sites and downloads return to normal. Firewall is not enabled.

Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Maybe the voice chat feature maintains a constant connection with the voice server?

So there's continuous transfer of data to and from these 2....

If so, there's nothing you can do about it, except to disable voice chat when you're not really using it.

@others-

Do you think there's any possibility of SP2's firewall or max. TCP connections features interfering with MSN Messenger? Personally, I didn't think the issue described above had anything to do with those features.

I've never had that issue with SP1 or SP1a. Seems strange that it happens now. SP2s firewall has been disabled as well as the complete security center. TCP max connections was restored to the default of SP1(a).
