a few weeks ago my laptop started running slowly, so as i've done for years, i ran SPYBOT. It had the desired result - i.e. improved performance, but since then i've not been able to use windows live messenger. I have tried loads of supposed cures.. i've uninstalled/reinstalled/run registry fixes - all sorts of things and always i get error 8007007e..

is this something to do with SPYBOT or is that a coiincidence? Can anyone help??
