Timer monitor blocks MSN messenger

Hi
Since a week i'm using the latest release on some of my kiosks, 3.7.9. In that version you have built in a monitor that checks the timer all the time. Since the installation people started complaing about the fact that they couldn't start Live Messenger or if they could get it started they couldn't activate the webcam. At first i thought there was some kind of virus/trojan, which would be strange cause i'm using deepfreeze, after a restart my kiosk is clean. Even after a reset msn wouldn't work. Anyway, after long searching, formatting, changing computers i found the problem. When i disabled the monitor everything worked fine again. So i think your monitor is blocking msn (live, whatever) messenger or some service that is used by the messenger. Maybe you want to check on this.
bye
