Thanks to Sirthinks for the idea! While chatting away on MSN Messenger, John started telling me some of his “How I crashed MSN Messenger” stories. I thought it would be neat to add that section in my Blog!
The craziest “How I crashed MSN Messenger” story will receive a prize of some sort! I haven’t decided what to give away yet: My rubik’s cube or an MSN notebook.
So, if you think you got skillzzzzzzzz and can crash Messenger over and over and over, submit your story this month (by September 30th)! I will give away the *prize* (drum roll) if I receive more than 10 entries!
Submit your entries this month to: msnmsgr@microsoft.com. Include in the entry that you would like to participate in the “Bug Hunt Contest” and I will take note of it.

To change the sounds in MSN Messenger, go to Tools > Options, and in the 'Alerts and Sounds' section, click the Sounds button. Scroll to the bottom and chose the sound events and click browse to pick your new sound of choice.
The MSN Messenger team has released an update for this popular IM client. Many features have been added since version 7.0, like Dynamic Backgrounds, Voice Clip, audio quality improvements, expanded security settings, a renewed audio and video setup wizard, among many others.
