Why do I get an error message when I open my address book?

When I try to delete entries from my address book I get error message -40402?

  • Answer:

    If you have the contact in your email addresses you may also have to delete the contact from your email before you can delete from your IM. Try deleting it from you Yahoo Mail Contacts first. I read this on one of their help pages but I can not find it again to give you the link. Hope this helps!!!

ERROR CODE 40402 Go to your Yahoo Mail Address book first, to delete them. 1. With your mail page open, click Contacts. 2. Check the box next to the contact. 3. Go to the top of the list and click the Delete button. Go to Yahoo Instant Messenger. Right click the contact and select Delete from the drop down menu.
