Yahoo Messenger Problem Today?

[mariettelarkin]

Does anyone know if Yahoo Messenger is having a problem today? I can't log in under any id. I can get to my mail okay but not to messenger. It keeps telling me to reset cookies, I' have done that and it still doesn't work. Thanks guys!

I can't log in either.

Whenever you have problems connecting to Yahoo, it's a good idea to try the Java client. You can launch it from here (just look for the link that says "Java - Other Mac, Unix"). It runs under Windows just fine, and it's a good way to test whether you're having local computer configuration problems or if the problems are on Yahoo's servers.

Oh yeah, it's also an easy way to login with simultaneously to two Yahoo accounts. One using the Java version, the other using the regular program...

I did Xperience the same problem!!!

1. go to internet options and *hit* the delete cookies, delete files, and clear history then, refresh your browser and close it.
2. uninstall yahoo messenger
3. restart your PC
4. go to START -->> RUN and type *regedit* without (*) of course. REGISTRY WINDOW will pop up.
5. at the EDIT MENU select FIND and type *Yahoo* - this will search for Yahoo registry directory.
6. from Yahoo directory click the *+* plus sign to expand the folder. Look for *+Pager* click the plus again and look for *+profiles* you'll see here all your yahoo ID <<---- from here look for the *FOLDER* of the Yahoo ID you're having problem with and HIT delete!!!
7. close the REGISTRY window.
8. SHUTDOWN
9. Start your PC and reinstall Yahoo Messenger from the Browser.
10. GOODLUCK

hello all and good afternoon. IF YOU UNINSTALL YAHOO FROM YOUR COMPUTER THEN GO TO c DRIVE AND DELETE EVERYTHING OF YAHOO'S DOES IT ALSO DELETE IT OUT OF THE REGISTRY ?

[BlackJack]

Uninstalling YAHOO from drive C or in any drive will not remove itself from the registry. What is left in drive C after uninstalling it are files that need to be deleted manually. You won't see in drive c, d, etc. the Yahoo ID or profiles...it's all in the registry.*HANDLE WITH CARE THE REGISTRY* b'coz if you delete something accidentally...some programs might not RUN
