XP SP2 with MSN Messenger 6/Windows Messenger 4.7

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

I'm having a problem with MSN Messenger 6.2 and Windows Messenger 4.7 after
installing XP SP2. I have installed SP2 from WU and have done a slipstream
install.

The problem is when I'm connected to messenger and trying to voice chat,
downloads and browsing is horribly slow and the voice is really choppy. If I
stop downloading or browsing then the voice picks up to normal or if I stop
doing voice then the downloads and browsing picks up to normal. I never had
this issue with SP1a. This is driving me nuts.

Any hints, tips or ideas as to why this is?

QoS has been removed from all netword adapters. I even disabled the service.
I still have the same issue. I even went as far as reinstalling the system
and installing drivers and programs in different orders.

Thanks for your reply.
