My Yahoo IM is letting me type mesages But when I send or add a contact is does not work What do I do to fix?

A couple of days ago I received a yahoo message stating there was an IM problem and all it would do is recorded the timw like 4 times per minute. Since then every message I send doesn't appear on screen and contacts I add do not appear. I am not very experienced so please make the solution as simple as possible. When the problem started Yahoo sent a message saying there was a problem. Also I have windows Vista. Please Please help. Thank you

    It could be another glitch yahoo has had several with messenger lately. If you are using IM 9 you might need to switch to another one. Yahoo is having a lot of problems with IM 9 . It does not work well with Vista & XP. Yahoo IM 9 did not work for me and I have vista. You will need to uninstall the one you have now before installing another one. Hope this helps!!!!!

    This is the site for the older ones
