Where can I get the latest version o yahoo msg?

Yahoo IM version 10 won't install properly!?!?

  • I have Windows Vista and I tried dl'ing it from both my browsers (explorer & firefox) but half way through the installation process I get a msg that says: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click OK to terminate the program". Plus I cant get the older version (which I competely deleted) back because I can't find the dl link anywhere! Help :((.......Why doesn't Yahoo have a # where I can talk to a real life person!!

  • Answer:

    Here is a Safe and Valid Link with no annoying ads to download the Previous Versions of Yahoo! Messenger: http://www.oldversion.com/Yahoo-Messenger.html (many Vista users are having the same problem) Choose your Preferred Y!M Version and download it. Before you download, do this Offline if you prefer...Un-install the Y!M 10. Now, do a Search, in Drive C, type in Yahoo Messenger, Search... Delete the old Yahoo Messenger Folders. Reboot your Computer for a Clean Install of your preferred Y!M Version. (make sure your Java and Adobe Flash, and Internet Explorer 8 is up to date.) Best of Luck to You.

You need the following OS to support Messenger Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / XP64 / Vista64 / Windows7 If that is not an issue read on. The problem is probably due to a mal-function of the uninstall software.The Yahoo Messenger uninstall software is notorious for leaving files and fragments behind creating conflicts with the incoming software Close all programs when uninstalling / downloading and uploading. If you tried to uninstall the old Yahoo Messenger program from the Control Panel and failed to back it up with a visit to the 'C' drive, you may have old software conflicting with the incoming software trying to share the same folder. If you have Vista the whole Messenger folder should have been removed during the uninstall. Check Start > Computer >> Local drive (C) >> Program Files >> Yahoo >> Messenger. - The Messenger folder should have been deleted and not seen. If the Messenger folder is still visible - delete it. If you have a pre-Vista OS, the Messenger folder remains, and inside, only one sub-folder should be seen. This is the 'Profile' folder and contains all the message history. All other software should have been deleted. Manually delete any other folders and files before moving on Download 'ccleaner' and run it through a couple of times,using the factory settings and the 'Run Cleaner' control until 0 bytes are seen to be cleaned following a scan Run the 'Registry' from the left hand toolbar but 'Save' any changes after opting to 'repair' errors. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ Re-start your computer and download Yahoo Messenger from here. http://www.filehippo.com/download_yahoo_messenger/ still getting error message ?
