CAN’T SEE TEXT IN INSTANT MESSAGES? I have successfully helped scores of people with the exact same problem using the methods below. Hopefully, one of the fixes will help you too. If you cannot see text in instant messages, not even your own after you click Send or Press Enter, you are not alone in having this problem. If just a new problem try exiting Yahoo Messenger and then relaunching it. Even try rebooting your computer. If both those fail to solve your problem then try the suggestions below. This is actually an Internet Explorer scripting problem. Yahoo Messenger relies on Internet Explorer to work even if you have a different default browser. So when IE has a problem, Yahoo Messenger can as well. IMPORTANT: Before trying any of the suggestions below, first exit Yahoo Messenger by right clicking the Yahoo icon by your clock and choosing Exit. Try each of the fixes below one by one, only move on if the previous fix did not work. 1) The first thing to check is to make sure you have scripting enabled in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is integrated into Yahoo Messenger so things that go wrong with IE can affect Yahoo Messenger. Here is the yahoo help page about that: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger8/messenger/messenger-27.html 2) In the Start Menu click on Run. Copy & paste, or type each of the dll's below into the run box, one at a time, and after each one click OK. regsvr32 jscript.dll regsvr32 vbscript.dll Please note, if you are using Windows Vista temporarily disable the User Account Control (UAC). You can easily turn it back on. On the Control Panel (Category View) choose User Accounts and Family Safety, next choose User Accounts, and then click Turn User Account Control on or off. 3) If the fixes above do not help and you are using Windows XP or 2000, you can update your Windows Script to version 5.7. WINDOWS XP: Exit all browser windows and chat programs including Yahoo Messenger before installing. Here is link from Microsoft to update that: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=47809025-D896-482E-A0D6-524E7E844D81&displaylang=en WINDOWS 2000: There is also a Windows Script 5.7 released for Windows 2000 and you can find that here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C03D3E49-B40E-4CA1-A0C7-CC135EC4D2BE&displaylang=en WINDOWS VISTA: Windows Vista already includes Windows Script 5.7, so nothing to download. Try fix 2 above instead. Please, after 4 hours, choose a best answer and leave feedback. Thanks!
