    After installing (which I believe to be the problem) firewall and antivirus messenger simply does not respond. It is listed in the task manager (sometimes several times) as being started and running but remains somewhere stuck in the background. Attempts to uninstall fail. Attempts to delete produce the same result. Attempting to install on top of the previous installation get stuck on 99% with a return error message of messenger installation unsuccessful - as if I didn't know. I can only suggest at this point a new installation of the complete system and careful tracking and backing up of the system registry after each and every component and software. As always backup first!!! An unattended CD/DVD would probably also be a good idea if you don't already have one.

    I think I have the same problem. I click YM smiley icon twice and it started loading by showing arrow cursor and it's "timer bottle", then it disappear somewhere in the background without displaying YM Sign in screen box.

    I press CTRL-ALT-DEL to activate Windows Task Manager and found 7 YahooMessenger.exe with approx 2,364 to 6,328K Mem USage (always change value in Task Manager within minutes). Maybe caused by clicking YM icon 7 times when I retried to reload YM.

    Tried to uninstall and the following message appeared:
    C:\...................................\.................messenger.exe\UnregServer then it hung.

    Please help me if anyone can assist me in solving this problem.

    Thank you.

Hint number one. Dumb IE9. Chrome is fast and it will work. 1. Press Control Alt Delete same time. 2. Choose task manager settings 3. Click on applications, if it says not responding end it. 4. If 3 doesnt work click on processes and end explorer 9.

I can not install yahoo messenger 10
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 before repairing

Im unable to open yahoo messenger. i wanted to uninstall and then reinstall but it wouldn't uninstall. i get a message 'not responding'.
You need to remove version 9,or present version, 1st to get another version to work. To remove Messenger version Use Unwise located middle of page of Messenger Folder.Make sure Automatic is checked! then continue to uninstall..Or use control panel ,Vista-program features or XP-add/remove this is the 2nd best way. If you just delete the Yahoo file to remove messenger,you will also lose the shared file that contains things needed on other Yahoo sites. Your contacts are stored online But if you want to save your old messages archives,they are saved on your PC in the messenger file you are about to delete.Go here and copy them to a new folder
Start>my computer>c:drive>program files>yahoo>messenger>profiles>(your ID)>archive>messages
