Why can't I log on to Yahoo Messenger?

I can log on to yahoo, clearly, since I am able to ask this question. However, I am unable to log on to messenger using the same user name and password.

Why?

Update:

I mean all of a sudden, when I try to log on, it pops up a window that says sign on problems and giving me 3 useless buttons to click

Update 2:

I can get to email without any problem. Its just messenger that isnt logging on

Update 3:

For future reference. A complete reboot and relogging on to yahoo web features (mail etc) finally allowed be to log on to messenger (even though messenger finally said my account was locked)....prior to that I cleared the cache and cookies (using firefox)....but that in itself did not fix the problem...i don't know if it has any impact on the reboot/resigning fixing the problem.

    Do you mean the application isn't working or it isn't working on your e-mail either? After a while, for me at least, my application stops working and I have to download a later version
