Just changed computers and i keep downloading my messenger but it wont come up on my screen to show my friends?

  • Answer:

    First of all, check that you have RUN the Program and not just SAVED it. If you have not run it, you need to run it as Administrator. If you have run the program, try the following:~ Start>all programs>Yahoo Messenger>Yahoo Messenger. Right click on "Yahoo Messenger" and then "Send to Desktop" (Create Shortcut). The shortcut should then be created on your desktop. Then, right click on the Yahoo Messenger Icon and then click on "Pin to Taskbar".

ANY Yahoo! Messenger program will not install properly if a former program, or an incomplete install, has not been completely deleted from the computer first. (Don't worry - your Contacts List will be saved into the fresh installation of an updated Messenger!) Use the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs method, then double-check by going to Start > Search > files and folders > Yahoo! Messenger (notice the exclamation mark in the title). Write down and delete all Yahoo Messenger references manually from the registry if necessary. The uninstaller works well for Vista and Win 7, but not for XP - it leaves behind MANY junk files when uninstalling. If you use Win XP, download CCleaner to help clean out the registry safely, but be sure to back up the registry first with the program. (It's also a handy program for deleting temp files, history, etc in one click - for a faster, cleaner computer) Download and SAVE the program directly from the File Hippo web site. Install it only AFTER completely cleaning the registry of remnants. Download the most recent version of any Yahoo Instant Messenger (highest number, top of its list) Messenger 11 is still in beta form, and is somewhat quirky for some users. You must be operating as an Administrator to install the program. When installing, you can choose to create a desktop icon (move it later to pin in place), and/or to start the program manually or on boot-up. 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 as your browser, Yahoo Messenger 10 will not work properly without Flash and Java programs also installed, and possibly the .NET framework update.

download the offline installer version, and save it on a thumbdrive, keep it handy. ym10 http://download.yimg.com/ycs/msg/dl/msgr10/us/ymsgr1000_1102_us.exe ym11 january2011 http://xh.yimg.com/gj/msgr/11/client/ymsgr1100_1751_us.exe
