hi Mac_Blue,

When uninstalling aBeta Version i suggest doing a complete uninstall.

What does that mean you ask?

Well Yahoo!'s official uninstaller does not actually uninstall everything.

It leaves files behind that could possibly cause later issues on newer builds.

After you uninstall the beta, don't download the new Build just then.

instead reboot your pc then go to the following folder and backup your archives.

C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles

This folder will contain folders with your ID's as folder names.

These folders hold display pics and archives belonging to that id.

You can put the profiles folder on your desktop to back them up.

Then after you do that delete the entire Yahoo! folder found at the following.

C:\Program Files at the bottom of the folder.

Delete the Yahoo! folder then reboot again and then install the latest Yahoo! Messenger Build and it should be a successful install.
