Why cant I access Yahoo Messenger?

the reason that you can't acces your yahoo messenger is that someone probably tryed to acces your messenger account and probably because he didn't know you pass, he blocked it. i think for the next 48 h you can't log on. but sometimes it works to log on. hope this helps.

If you don't install the 9.0 messenger correctly, it will not work (NOT ASSUMING YOU ARE TRYING TO INSTALL THAT VERSION, but most people with the same problem as you, are trying to Install the 9.0 version. It has to be,,,Run as the Administrator. I think if you Right click on the downloaded .exe after you download it, you will be able to Run as Administrator. If that is all too confusing you can,,, Do this,,,, Click on Start Button/ Settings/ Control Panel/ Add or Remove Programs. DUMP anything that says Yahoo Messenger (toolbar, address book etc etc etc) they will be listed at the bottom of that window if there are any), and go to this website,,,,, http://www.oldversion.com Scroll down (at the bottom of the page on the Left is Yahoo Messenger). Versions 3-8 are there to choose from. I PERSONALLY SUGGEST 7.0. BE SAFE Cheri PS. No, you will NOT lose any Contacts from a previous version you ran, they are all saved on Yahoos Sever and will transfer to whatever version you install.

my suggestion is that you either A double check that you typed in your user name correctly, B un install Yahoo Messenger and reinstall it, or C try using www.meebo.com. It's a messenger website that I use whenever Yahoo or AIM isn't working.
