Wrong password. That is obvious, but maybe it got changed. \n\nSend an email to Yahoo to verify what your password is to be sure.

Well, at least provide the error message it gives you when you try to login ... may be then we can help... what exactly happens when you try to sign in with your other yahoo account...?

Many a times it does not sign in due to network connection error. Also, try to untick the save password login and enter it manually. Also try, is it working fine if you enter any of the MSN passport login sites. Hope it helps.  If there is only a problem with your MSN, then may be your firewall is blocking. You can try chatting with http://wwww.e-messenger.net for a while, it is the same MSN supported on a web browser. Hope it helps.

I've had the same problem with messenger in the past. It probably isn't anything you are doing wrong. More than likely all of yahoo messenger is messed up. Try contacting yahoo...there should be a troubleshooting site. I usually just either notify them or give up.

try this if it still doesn't work contact yahoo.\nIf Yahoo! Messenger is unable to connect to our servers, one of the following may occur:\nYour software may display a message that says it can't connect.\nThe yellow "Connecting" light might last for a long time.\nThe light may stay grey and say "Not Connected."\nFirst, check your email or surf web sites to see if you are connected to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). \n\nNext, make sure you have Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 4.1 or above installed on your machine. If you use Netscape as your browser, you don't have to switch to Internet Explorer or even run Explorer. In order to update your system files, you just have to install Internet Explorer. Yahoo! Messenger uses files from Internet Explorer to run. You can download version 5.5 from: \n\n   http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm \n\nAll of the above conditions indicate a connection problem, not a problem with your Yahoo! ID or password. (If you receive an Invalid Login error message, there is a problem with your ID or password.) \n\nIf you receive a message that says "You have been logged of as you have logged in on a different machine," this means that you have logged onto the Java Messenger while you were running the Windows Messenger, or vice versa. \n\nIf Messenger was able to connect before, but has suddenly stopped, we may be having temporary server problems. These types of problems are usually resolved in a matter of hours.\n\nIf the problem persists, your Messenger connection information may be incorrect. \n\nIf Messenger has never been able to connect, try this: \n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on No network detection, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nIf that doesn't work, follow these steps:\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Firewall with no proxies, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nThe above configuration will work in almost any situation. However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the voice chat feature.\n\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:\n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Use proxies. Here you can enter your firewall and/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.\nNote: If Messenger crashes and you can't connect, please read our Messenger Crash help section.

try the same version with different set of username and password; if it works then the username and password was not correct. If it doesnt work try with a different computer connected to the same Networking Device(router or switch or modem). If it also fails check the port used by yahooo messenger.
