Hello Mary Jane,

You just need to go to their download site and then download and install it. Here is their download site:

http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/

then you will be taken to the yahoo messenger download page.
you will see there a download button click it
after you click it it will ask you if you want to run the file or save it(click save so you can re-install the messenger whenever you need to)

just agree with yahoo messenger's terms and condition
when your done installing there should be a yahoo messenger icon in your desktop(the smiling yellow face)
double left click it and it will then lunch and your good to go

to use it you must have a yahoo email address cause this yahoo email address will serve as your username in yahoo messenger

i hope this helps you....if you have any problem just feel free to message again and ill try to reply asap so i can help again

It would be better if you get the Offline Standalone installer (Yahoo Messenger Beta 11) from a more fast and steady internet connection, so you can install it even with limited or no internet connection. The problem properly be fixed by Re-Installing yahoo messenger.

Hi there!
What you should in order to download yahoo messenger, is to open this link:

Press on the Download Now button, and then press on Save in the box/window that will be opened. After the download is completed, you can install the messenger.
Have fun! :)

download the latest version of yahoo messenger. uninstall first the yahoo messenger on your computer the download it and install. if doesn't work. you need to scan with anti-virus your hardrive. it mught be a virus infected. once you finish scan with anti-virus. run installer of yahoo messenger

You can download it from the Yahoo Home page, but if you have problem doing that, let me give you a link for offline installer so that you will face no problem with the installation and download later.
click here to download yahoo messenger.
Open the link, click "Free user" button, wait for few seconds, (around 32 seconds) and click the blue "Download" button. After the download is completed, double-click the file or just run it and follow the onscreen instructions. This will directly install the yahoo messenger on your computer.
[note: for windows only]

If you have further problem, let me know.

Good luck.

hi, it may be due to low bandwidth problems yahoo just gives u a small installation file, and tries to install the rest of the messenger program by downloading them when required, after all the files are downloaded, ur installation is completed. if ur net gets disconnected, or yahoo server lags(very rare case, but happens), then u lose all that u have downloaded..simple way is always try to download from filehippo.com, when it comes to yahoo messenger, as that site provides a full fledged messenger, without the need for downloading before installing..

Yeah it been a problem for so many others like you, check out this official solution at YMessBlog
But I recommend to you install a standalone version ;
A standalone version is a full complete installation of Yahoo Messenger ,which doesnt connect to internet for further installation of the software.
So download the latest Yahoo Messenger from here at softpedia

• Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2124 (14.1 MB)

Hope that helps !!
