Can't see you own text or anybody else in Chat or IM ?

This could be caused by a scripting issue.

Close Yahoo! Messenger and all IE (internet explorer) windows

When you send or receive an instant message and no message appears, you probably have scripting disabled in your Internet Explorer.

To enable scripting:

1. Click the "Tools" menu on your Internet Explorer toolbar and select "Internet Options."
2. Click the "Security" tab.
3. Click the Internet (globe) icon and click the "Custom Level" button.
4. Scroll down to "Scripting."
5. Enable the following:
* Active scripting
* Allow paste operations via script
* Scripting of Java applets are all enabled
6. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.

Note: Restart Yahoo! Messenger and you should start seeing text in your IM windows again.

If this does not work please try the following

go to Start - then Run - then type regsvr32 jscript.dll - then press OK

then

go to Start - then Run - then type regsvr32 vbscript.dll - then press OK

This should fix the issue.

if you still have issues you can try this user submitted fix by stupidisasstupiddoes

The easiest way to clear up this is to goto microsoft and download the latest version of scripting. Which is currently script 5.7 which is currently what is included with Windows Vista. Windows XP originally came with 5.6 . If you are running Windows 98, Microsoft took down the script download. You will have to try to find a copy of script 5.6 from another source.

Once you download it, the installer package will update your script files and register them. If you are running Vista you will may have to turn off your USERS ACCOUNT's Control off in order to keep Vista from blocking any changes to your dll's.

For XP ver 5.7 Download details: Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP
