    Not posting this in software section because it may be relevant to the laptop being an alienware.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Whenever I have my computer go into suspend, sleep, hibernation, or even let the screen turn off from inactivity when it resumes msnmessenger (the default windows live that comes with vista.) it's comes back frozen and me being unable to click on it or any of it's windows without first opening the task manger, clocking msn and re opening it fist.

    Heard from other people that they've had this problem before with msn and their laptops. It's always done this for as long as I've had the laptop too.
