 This fix worked perfectly with Pidgin 2.5.5, Windows Vista 64 Ultimate.

 I also tried another fix first, replacing the standard MSN plugin with MSN
 Pecan (http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/), however, this by itself was
 ineffective on my system. So, either this and the dclaarit fix worked, or
 the dclaarit fix alone was sufficient, I suspect the latter.

 Thanks dclaarit
