Fixing Windows Live Messenger

If you having Your Windows Live Messenger HANG/LAG for every 10 ~ 20 Second.
Here might be your solutions.

Go to Start -> Run

Type in services.msc and then Enter.

You will see a list of Services on your Windows

Scroll down to SSDP Discovery, stop the service and set the startup type to disable.
(There might be a popup window asking to stop the UPNP as well, click ok to stop the UPNP as well.)

Shutdown Messenger and restart your Windows.

Test your messenger, now it will not HANG or LAG for every few second anymore.

Go back to your services.msc
