When I am on MSN Messenger, when I have a contact window open, and the contact has his/her status set to anything other than online, my MSN messenger "lags". Like for example: someone sets their status to "Away", thoughout all the rest of my conversation windows and contact list, it jumps...and sometimes each jump lasts for about 5 seconds or more. Any ideas on the cause of this problem ? or how to stop it ?

Uninstall messenger, and reinstall it is my advice. Also, scan for virus/spyware first.
