Can I upgrade my Yahoo messenger?

How can i upgrade my yahoo messenger?

• also i want to ask how can i see my chatter box in my yahoo mail? why messenger's website doesn't allow me to download the newest version?

• Answer:

  The Chat option in the newest mail version does not always appear - it's a glitch. Try going back to the older Classic Mail. Yahoo has a new Help page with a direct link to switching back to Classic Mail! This Help page link and solution are new, and a permanent change. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/context/migrationv2.html At the end of the second paragraph, click either [click here] IN BLUE or [No thanks. Continue to Yahoo Mail Classic] The current version of Messenger is 11.5. To check for your version, sign in, then click Help and About. If you install from the Yahoo site http://messenger.yahoo.com without deleting your other program, you may have problems. Here is the Yahoo Help page with specifics on how to re-install Messenger or update it safely, for Vista or Win 7 (using Safe Mode with Networking): http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&page=content&y=PROD_MSNG&id=SLN50&impressions=false NOTE: Messenger uninstall on XP leaves many registry remnants! You need to use a safe registry cleaner to be successful deleting it! Try: http://messenger.yahoo.com/ (There are two parts to the installation - a preliminary download of the installer executable, and then the download itself.) If you have made a previous unsuccessful attempt or the installation refused to install, you will need to use another technique. Download and SAVE the program directly from the File Hippo web site. Install it only AFTER deleting through the Control Panel and completely cleaning the registry of remnants. Download the most recent version of any Yahoo Instant Messenger (highest number, top of its list) You must be operating as an Administrator to install the program. Some firewalls have issues with installing Messenger from the Yahoo installer site, but disabling your firewall while online is VERY dangerous! Usually, by installing after downloading, the firewall will ask for permission to run the program. If you use Internet Explorer 8 or 9 as your browser, Yahoo Messenger 10 or 11 will not work properly without updated Flash and Java programs also installed, and possibly the .NET framework update.
