Every time I (re)open a chat window in Windows Live Messenger (v2009/b14.0.8089.726), the input text box is scaled up to about 300 pixels in height, leaving little room for the conversation text box (I prefer moderately sized chat windows, not maximized); and I always have to resize it. Is there some way to force messenger to cooperate with me?

I have, at times, connected a Wacom pen tablet, but never use it with Messenger. I have disabled the bothersome service that animates waves around the cursor when I use the tablet, since it hugs performance.

Have you tried reinstalling Messenger to reset all the settings?

If you think the tablet might be causing the problem, then try uninstalling all the Wacom-related software.

Didn't help reinstalling Messenger. And it doesn't really help Messenger's GUI issues to mess with the Wacom drivers. – Cecil Has a Name Feb 3 '10 at 19:47

I have the same issue, it happens after I install the wacom software and it cannot be fixed for some reason.

EDIT: found a solution, http://oinkfu.com/ramblings/2009-12/windows-7-and-wacom-cursor-fixing-annoying-radar-animation-latest-windows .

This also fixes the Messenger resize thing. I had to reinstall my wacom drivers, but after that is seem to be solved.
