Sounds like you need to uninstall yahoo and re-download it Phyliss. Good luck.

If you have a firewall make sure that the firewall is allowing the program to run , otherwise it might be blocking it. Sometimes the server of the messenger has crashes from time to time but this is very rare.  other than that it could be a virus or something . Do you get any Error messages ???  try to go to the troubleshooting.

you have to be logged on as administrate on your PC. and it can be several problems or issues. You need to look in Help for Yahoo Messenger and search for whatever error message you are getting to find out why.

Make sure Yahoo! messenger has access to Internet. If you have a firewall, you must make sure some ports are open for Y!IM.\n\nFor more information on configuring your firewall to accept Y!IM, click here:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/tech/tech-47713.html

You will need to be more specific with your question. Generally speaking, you may want to reinstall Yahoo Messenger and see if the error is corrected.

Fix this error / possible solution\n\nThis error also occurs when you are not connected to the Internet, so make sure you are connected.\n \nThe most likely cause for this problem is that your firewall does not allow MSN Messenger to access the Internet. This happens often if you install a new version of Messenger. Make sure MSN Messenger is allowed access in your firewall rules. \n\nThis error might also be occuring because there is a proxy server enabled in MSN Messenger while you do not use one. To remove the proxy settings, click the "Tools" menu and then "Options..." at your MSN Messenger main window. Then in the options screen click "Connection" in the list to the left. Next, click the "Advanced Settings..." button. You can try and uncheck all checkboxes in this screen except the one labeled "TCP" to let MSN Messenger connect through a direct connection. If that does not work you can restore the settings again by checking the boxes you unchecked before.

Well, there could be a couple reasons for this...\n\nFirst - You are probably running XP w/service pack 2 (check this by right clicking on My Computer and selecting properties, on the General Tab it will tell you). If this is the case...the firewall is probably on. If you open control panel, you will see "Windows Firewall" as one of the icons. Click on that, select the Exceptions tab, and you are going to make sure theire is a check in the box for your messenger. This should help....\n\nSecond - If this is an HP, Dell, Compaq, or other big chain PC, ther are probably running a virus/security suite. You do not want to have 2 firewalls running (unless you are paranoid). If you have this suite (Internet security or something like that) I would disable the firewall option and just go with the windows version (or you can disable the windows and go with the other)...\n\nEither of these should fix your problem with the messenger, now for the mail issue.\n\nIf you are running Outlook Express, there is a setting to disable attachments. You can check this by clicking on tools --> options, then click on the security tab. There will be 2 radials and 2 boxes.. the second box is what you might want to uncheck..\n\nHope this helps ....

Assuming you have installed the webcam properly with its drivers.\n\n1. Logon to http://messenger.yahoo.com/\n\n2. Click on the Features link on the top row.\n\n3. Click on the Webcam link which is in the last coloum.\n\n4. Click on the "Visit the Yahoo! Help Center" link on the right hand side.\n\n5. This will bring you to the webcam help section. Under the Getting Started title click on the Test webcam link. The website usually downloads a piece of software from Yahoo to your computer.\n\nThis is what I followed when I was unable to use my webcam on yahoo. I was able to use the cam on all other messengers and not on yahoo. Once this software was downloaded, the webcam works just fine on yahoo now.\n\nPls update your question if any errors are reported.\n\nUjjU

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

you would probably have to remove the messenger program from the add/remove program and try going into the chat line again!

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

I had that problem with Yahoo messenger when I had another program that uses the camera on also. If you have something like ActiveWebCam or perhaps a utility program from the manufacturer of the camera, that will cause the whole computer to lock up. A camera can only be used by one program at a time in my experience.
