MSN Messenger keeps crashing?

Yaho Messenger Question!! It keeps Crashing everytime I click on something!!?

  • Ok, I'm having major problems with Yahoo Messenger! I can IM people fine, but I can't do much of anything else. Whenever I click on something anywhere on the Messenger screen the program shuts down completely. When I start it up again a message pops up saying that Messenger shut down and needs to start again in safe mode. It's getting annoying because anything that I try to do, be it click on the top bar to add a contact, or add a picture, the thing crashes. I even tried downlaoding an older version of the program. It was 7.5 I believe. I also looked under help and I have the most up to date version of Macromedia Flash and I installed it using IE. Does any one have any ideas as to why this is happening or how I can fix it?? Thanks in advance!!

It's likely a conflict between Yahoo! Messenger's skinning engine and a 3rd party skinning program like WindowBlinds. If you can, configure the 3rd party program so it won't try to skin Messenger. Or instead set Messenger's skin to "Classic", which basically turns off the Messenger skinning engine. Click "Change Skin..." in the Messenger menu.

Yahoo has been having problems due to the heat wave and power outages since last Fri. Hang in there until it is resolved.

yahoo has changed directory location for files as they change versions ... this has caused issues with the uninstaller because files get left behind .... yahoo redid the uninstaller in version 8 ... try the "custom " uninstall option when asked ... it works best ... complete details here ... http://www.freecreed.com/ymsgr-archive.html ... plus many older versions ... also you might try the NON yahoo software to chat on yahoo ... check the menu bar while there for free boot proof chats

http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n what you need to do is uninstall yahoo 7.5 or 8.0 beta from your add remove programs{ in your control panel} {the tool bar and mail all of the files for yahoo that you see there} then also go to your c drive and open, go to program files, open, then go to yahoo folder at the bottom, open, then delete messenger folder {witch has the cache file in it} if it says you cant delete the whole folder it is ok open it and delete everything that you can. then go to the site at the top and download 7.0 run the installation, follow the direction perfectly but do not download tool bar or set as your homepage it will ask if you want only messenger nothing else , then your computer will restart, and then try to log on, it might give you an error for no connection, go to above the smiley and click on the messenger preference tab and pick no internet detection button this will fix your problem have a good night :P let me know if it works 7.5 has a runtime error in it which causes your com to stop logging on and 8.0 was not compatible for my com at the time i tried to download it i noticed the problem when i tried to repair 7.5 got a message saying that it couldnt find the correct path to a dll file so i tried 8.0 and no such luck said i was logged on to two computers and keeped logging me out it aint a power outage it is a program malfunction. with both 7.5 and from what i can tell 8.0
