    It could be several problems. Yahoo is having a lot of problems and it is affecting a lot of people in different ways. My problem was Vista and IM9 do not work well together. I switched to IM7 and I am not having any problems now. You might want to go to their messenger website to see if you can figure out your problem.

  • If you don't install the 9.0 messenger correctly, it will not work (NOT ASSUMING YOU ARE TRYING TO INSTALL THAT VERSION, but most people with the same problem as you, are trying to Install the 9.0 version.

    It has to be,,,Run as the Administrator.

    I think if you Right click on the downloaded .exe after you download it, you will be able to Run as Administrator. If that is all too confusing you can,,,

    Do this,,,,

    Click on Start Button/ Settings/ Control Panel/ Add or Remove Programs.

    DUMP anything that says Yahoo Messenger (toolbar, address book etc etc etc) they will be listed at the bottom of that window if there are any), and go to this website,,,,,

    http://www.oldversion.com/

    Scroll down (at the bottom of the page on the Left is Yahoo Messenger). Versions 3-8 are there to choose from. I PERSONALLY SUGGEST 7.0.

    BE SAFE

    PS. No, you will NOT lose any Contacts from a previous version you ran, they are all saved on Yahoos Sever and will transfer to whatever version you install.

    Yahoo leaves many strains of itself in the registry whilst an previous version is uninstalled (administration Panel > upload/eliminate) or a clean one fails to place in exact - (my uninstall left close to to 30 references). the hot version won't setting up thoroughly until they are wiped clean out. It demands deleting all Yahoo Messenger references from the registry, different than your archived messages and profile and contacts lists, perchance. (Be very careful - you may make a multitude there!) WinASO is barely between the registry cleaners, yet its benefit is that it facilitates you to be very specific approximately precisely what you chosen to delete, making it incredibly secure, even for novices! The unfastened trial version acquire in basic terms removes 10 references at a time, so it takes a jointly as, yet works! confirm to backup the registry by ability of springing up a clean restore ingredient first! report Hippo has countless variations of Yahoo Messenger. Messenger 10 has shown glitchy for some customers, so follow Messenger 9. acquire and keep this technique rapidly from there - it style of feels much less puzzling than an replace or setting up from Yahoo's internet site. setting up it in basic terms after thoroughly cleansing the registry of remnants. Use a seek engine to locate Lenny Vasbinder's column on 'How I consistently Do a clean setting up Of Yahoo Messenger on XP'. it additionally should artwork for Vista and Win 7, yet i've got not got those. It does take a lot of time, yet must be nicely worth it. I had tried Yahoo help table too, even with the shown fact that it did no longer treatment my woes, unfortunately. make the project - wish it works for you too.
