Why does my Yahoo Messenger keep logging in and out?

Why does my yahoo messenger keep logging out on my phone?

• I log in and a day later it will log out when i never logged in on my computer. I am worried that someone keeps hacking into my account. I really am nervous so i can use any help i get. I change my password like once a week. I run a scan on my computer once a week to so i dont think it could be a "hacker". Can anyone help me? Is there any reason that it keeps logging out?

• Answer:

  OK a couple suggestions. Go on your main computer. Are you using the Windows Blinds program? This is a Windows OS skinning program, and there is a conflict between it and yahoo messenger? You can read more about the Windows Blinds issue here and also try a couple solutions to solve this problem http://www.wackyb.co.nz/Yahoo!_Messenger%E2%80%A6 . Next, make sure that you download and install latest update to Adobe Flash player, http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplaye%E2%80%A6 . Exit yahoo messenger first by right clicking icon by clock and choosing exit. Next thing to try is to change your connection settings. Go to top of YM and click on Messenger and then Preferences. Go to the Connections page and try these options, no proxies or no network detection (try one than the other). Click OK after choosing one. Yahoo Messenger will need to close to change the settings. You can also clear out your yahoo cache. My Computer/C:Drive/Program Files/Yahoo/Messenger/Cache. You can delete everything in the cache folder. Again exit yahoo messenger first. Please note that a newer building of 8.1 has been released in last few weeks. If nothing else works, might be worthwhile to update. I also have found that I have more problems with YM crashing if I am running Visible instead of signing in as always Invisible. Also might be just a lost signal or a lack of.
