    Go Start,Control Panel, Add/remove Programs. Click on Messenger,click remove. This should reinstate the older version. If not, Reboot and download it here; Yahoo 8.1: http://www.soft32.com/download_30.html 9 messenger is in Beta (testing) form and not working well. Stick to 8.1 until they work out the Bugs. Including people using 8.1 trying to message ones with 9 or reverse they are having compatibility problems Go to Start,My Pc C drive,open program files.then yahoo file,open messenger file and click UNWISE the remove messenger 9 If using control panel way does not remove it. If you upgraded the flash player It can be the problem. Flash player 10 Does have conflicts,and 9's latest update 9.0.124.0 Can have conflicts with Yahoo and is causing some Yahoo services to not load.use the link below for a download of Flash player #9.0.115.0 should work as it's older then last update.

if your computer has low ram such as 512 then your gone, or it just might be the case that you have to re-intsall it, to install it goto c drive, delete the windows live folder and download the intsaller from download.live.com and do it again

I agree with Kevin, it might be the ram, also check the firewall it might be blocking them, One more thing, when you have scanned them and they show no viruses then open them using the adminstrator.
