You need to have some software installed called "Java runtime".  The chat servers on Yahoo! need the Java language to run the screens.  It can be downloaded for free from here:

I had this problem many times on Windows XP after certain updates...My suggestion is to find an older version of yahoo messenger maybe 6

are you going into chat by the way of messenger.. click tools at top of messenger, scroll down 2 chat, click it.. if that doesn't work, maybe you need 2 reboot or refresh messenger, by clicking view at  top of messenger and then click refresh  : )

I would assume it is the yshortcut.dll causing your problem. Uninstall Yahoo Messenger and/or Yahoo Widgets if installed and see if that remedies your problem. \n\nYou could also ditch IE and use Firefox or Opera.

Well, this is pretty normal.\n\nThese messengers softwares are free, but they earn money by allowing advertisers to advertise in their softwares.\n\nWhen this kindof thing happens, just expand the chat-room window, then everything will be fine.\n\nThere was a software that disables or replaces this bar, with some other bar.\n\nSearch "YAhoo utilites" in google, you might get it.

You may need to upgrade to a newer version of Messenger. I had that problem too until I did. Or do I have the wrong idea of what your asking. You may need to close one of those before the window will come up (blocked?)

sounds like a bad install. go to control panel, add/remove programs and remove messenger.  then go back to yahoo and get a fresh copy.  see if that helps.

It is not your computer, Yahoo put out a non-functional beta version of messenger for some reason. Uninstall it. Get version 7.0 or older (which actually works) from here\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nAlso, make sure you have the latest version of Java, which is needed for some Yahoo things to work. Get that here\nhttp://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp

You might be using up too much RAM. I really haven't had problems with my messenger.

You are suffering from a problem called chat room leakage. This causes all the color to leak from your screen. There is a closely related problem which is called biological cpu wastage.

Check your colors for fonts and background in messenger.  Are they the same :).  If you have a white background and white letters you may have trouble.  I know it sounds crazy but it happens at times.\n\nWhat messenger you talking about Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc.

Try reloading yahoo chat and see if that works. Otherwise it might be blocking java.

Ok if it is just your internet screen that is big it is probably a problem with the text size being to large. This is a simple problem to fix all you have to do is got to VIEW, then click on TEXT SIZE, and adjust it to what ever size suits your needs.
