why my messenger Archives can't be merged and/or consolidated when using another computer, to my home PC?

The reason why yahoo msg archives are de-centralized is coz. they are stored on the client machines where ur msngr. is running and not on the server. A lazy way to see ur archives on a different computer is to copy the folder on the local machine where ur msgs are archived to the same location in the remote machine...then u wud be able to view ur archived msgs. there also.

Try http://www.e-messenger.net/.\nIf it works with your account then you have a software problem. Try emtying internet explorer cache.

No you are unlikely to loose both of them unless one is merely a shortcut pointing to the other.  To check this out look use your rgt mouse click menu to access the properties of each.  If they identical named files they probably exist in different  directories.  To be truly identical they should have identical byte counts. I'll leave the file merge issue to some other hotshot up on current tools.

The only way to check them if that happens or something simmiliar happens is to enable arhciving of offline messages as well as any other messages that people send you so that way if it does happen you can go back to your archives, I believe it will be in options or in the view menu or something like that, It seems to change from version to version, so obviously it will be different dependant on the version you have.

Use a program that will keep logs like Messenger Plus.

If I had to guess I would say that your copy of the program somehow has become corrupted.  I would suggest going to add remove programs, delete messenger.  Then go to Windows home site and download a new copy.  This should fix your problem.

yes.. your buddy lists should be stored remotely on the server.. depending on what chat client you're using will determine where the logs are located..\n\nI would check both the c:&#92;program files&#92;messenger program&#92; directory (look for a subdirectory called logs) or it might be hidden in a hidden folder in the user directory.\n\nopen windows explorer (double click on your c: drive icon)\nthen open tools--> options and enable "show hidden files and folders"\n\nthen go to c:&#92;documents and settings&#92;username&#92;application data&#92; and look around for a directory associated with your messenger program.. in one of these two places you'll find the logs...

Hi there,\nWhat you can do is, Download Winrar from rarlabs.com and install it, Now right click on your file and select add to archive in the dialogue box in the lower left corner select split archives and divide it into smaller parts of 10 MB each, then send each of these to ur friend \nOr for a more easier solution goto www.yousendit.com or www.rapidshare.de and upload your file and send your friend the link to that file\nAbhishek

It's not possible unless both computers are networked.\n\nBetter copy it on a floppy or CD. Else upload it to the internet from the source PC and download it into your PC.

If you dont think your computer can take it, try downloading the older version of yahoo since they take up less memory.\n\nGo to this page:\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

You could connect the two computers using Limewire. Just select "Direct Connect". As long as you know the IP addresses, it should work.\n\nI think you can also share files between computers using Yahoo! Messenger.\n\nOr, if it's the computer of someone you know, such as a friend  who lives closeby, you could just burn the data onto a disc, and give the data disc to whoever needs it.

First, I'd recommend uninstalling your Messenger and downloading and installing the newest verson from Yahoo!  When you do this, though, you might have a corrupt file in your Yahoo! Messenger directory. To fix the problem, you must manually delete the "Messenger" directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Yahoo! Messenger application.\n\nTo delete the directory:\nClose the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed. \nGo to your desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nClick the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!\nHighlight the Yahoo! Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard. (All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Please see below.)\n\nTo install:\nClose all running applications except for your Internet browser.\nVisit the Yahoo! Messenger home page.\nClick the "Download Now" button.\n\nTo copy your complete Message Archive:\nClose Yahoo! Messenger (if it is currently running). \nGo to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nSelect the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles\nYour "Profiles" folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the same location on another computer if you wish to view it elsewhere.\n\nNote: If you copy this folder to another computer, your complete Message Archive will be copied, overriding the Message Archive on the computer to which you are copying.\n-------------------------------------------------------------\nAfter that, if you still have problems, make sure that you have the latest version of Macromedia's Flash Player installed, as Messenger uses certain Flash components on startup.  \n\nBeyond that, your Yahoo! Messenger connection information may be incorrect. Follow these steps to configure your connection:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Firewall with no proxies" option.\nSelect the correct Internet connection type and country from the pull-down menus.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nThe above configuration works in most situations. (However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the Voice feature.) If this configuration doesn't work, follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "No network detection" option and then click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button. \nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Use proxies" option. \nEnter your firewall or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet service provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button. \n------------------------------------------------------\nIf you try all of the steps above and Yahoo! Messenger

Under account settings, go to the Advanced tab and in the  Delivery section, there's a checkbox marked "leave a copy of messages on the server."  If you check this, you can download the messages at home and then download them again at work.  You'll always download them both places until they're deleted from the server (you can set the length of time in that same area).  Make sure you do this on BOTH computers or you won't get the messages on both.
