SP2 and MSN Messenger - Contact list never displayed

Ever since I loaded XP SP2 on my PC, my MSN Messenger
(6.2.0137) no longer works. Windows Messenger also does not
work, with the same symtoms.

Interesting it does appear to login to the server as if I'm logged
in from another PC and I start off MSN from the XP SP2 PC, it
kicks the "other" PC out.

It's just that the Contact List never comes back. No Error
messages, just the two dancers dancing around each other
forever.

I have Norton Internet Security Installed, tried de-
installing - no difference.

I have the new Micrsoft Firewall Disabled - no difference.

I de-installed SP2 - hi presto that works!

I put SP2 back on - and to my dissapointment MSN Messenger
again doesn't login fully again.

I'm sitting behind a NAT firewall, but that's not the
issue, as it obviously works whilst no SP2 installed. Also
have a second PC XP +SP2 behind the same firewall, where
MSN works fine.

Any help appreciated
