A bos "Yahoo Update Manager" constantly appears on my computer screen with the message "The Yahoo update server cannot be accessed at this time." Each time it appears there is a dinging noise. How can I get rid of it.

Which Anti Virus Program are You Using

I had this Problem today. after several attempts and getting the message server is busy each time, I uninstalled content Manager from my PC and the redownloaded and installed it. It now works

Just go into the installation path of Yahoo Messenger
> C:\Program files\Yahoo!\Messenger
and there should be a couple of .reg files
> default.reg and intl.reg
I merged those files (with a double click) and now Messenger works even on my limited account.

This shouldn't happen all the time, but it will happen from time to time when the server at Yahoo is just busy fetching data for you. Closing your Yahoo email program and restarting will generally cure that problem.
If you are getting this message generally more than once per day, there is an issue with your email program communicating with the server at Yahoo and you should call or email Yahoo support if you can access your email. Since Yahoo doesn't store data locally on your Hard Drive, but on Yahoo servers, you must take up the issue with Yahoo support services.

Hope this helps.....

Go to the Start Menu. Go to Control Panel. Locate the Icon "Device Manager". Once the dialogue Box "Device Manager" appears, locate and click on "Sound, Video, and Game Contollers".
Click on the + button to the left of this and double click on each controller. When the dialogue box opens, go to Driver and select "update driver".
After updating each driver (if update not available a message will appear telling you that you have the most current or best currently installed).
Also, if prompted, select to check Internet automatically. Do not search the computer files: you will not find them here (unless you manually installed drivers, and haven't enabled them yet).
Please let me know if you need further assistance if this does not change your video status. Here is one other thing you can try:
Update your Adobe version. This is usually the program that is used when viewing videos online. Also, when attempting to play a video - watch at the top of the screen for a yellow bar - usually a message will appear alerting you of this, which indicates you need to enable the Active X for this particular website. I doubt this is the case, but I often run into this, and very seldom notice this yellow bar. The message does not always appear so be alert of this just incase.
Being this is a desktop, you may need to upgrade the video card as well. You shouldn't have to: You can also locate the video card installed in your computer through the Device Manager and update the drivers for it as well.
Let me know how or if any of this helps.

Troubleshooting tips
If you still can’t send Yahoo! Mail from Outlook 2007, you might be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port. If this is the case, try using port 587 when sending email via Yahoo!’s SMTP server. To make this change:

1. From the Tools menu, select Account Settings. The Account Settings dialog box appears.
2. Double-click your Yahoo! Mail Plus account. The Change E-mail Account dialog box appears.
3. Click More Settings. The Internet E-mail Settings dialog box appears.

6. Click OK to close the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
7. Click Next to continue. The Congratulations screen appears.
8. Click Finish to close the Change E-mail Account dialog box.
9. Click Close to close the Account Settings dialog box.

It appears that you are trying to automatically update a program or driver. You have to locate the app or device and try deleting it.

I have had similar problems after trying to activate and update on my customers computers. I know it is Trend Micros servers that are down for maintenance. Wait a day or two and then try again and it will work. Your computer is protected during this time even though it is not activated/updated.

Problem solved. Ignore the "Windows XP approval" message & continue with the fix suggested in the troubleshooting section of the manual.
