Try reinstalling the gtalk. And you can also use notable IM(Internet Messengers) like Digsby,Trillian, Nimbuzz etc etc. These IMs have a notable great interface and also provide some additional functions compared to the stock chat apps.

Ok I had yahoo messenger and then up graded to yahoo messenger 10.It would not work due to a connection problem..I did get the chat and mobile box in the right corner to show up but not the long one in the...

Check first if you are inputting the correct password. Next try going in to Messenger>Connection Preference> then Click No Proxies

If this won't work, try No Network Detection instead.

Last resort is to c
heck your Internet Explorer settings by going to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>Settings

Then check Automatically Detect Settings.

Also do this again - Tools>Internet Options>Connections>

Then this time click LAN Settings and check Automatically Detect Settings

Click Apply and then try logging in to Yahoo Messenger again.

What is the method of yahoo mail chating tell me

yahoo mail chatting is done inside your yahoo mail account. It is located on the right side of your account name on the top portion of the page.
You can chat easily with other user listed on the contacts of your mail account. However, if your mail chat is enable, you will be log out from yahoo messenger and vice versa. So it is better to choose which one is your priority and disable the other one.

Webcam

Download Yahoo Messenger (www.yahoo.com) . Create a free ID on yahoo as ask the other person to do the same. Install Yahoo Messenger and Login using your ID and start IM conversation. You will get a webcam button on the IM (instant Messenger) window . Click on that and the other person will see you and vice versa. This is just one way, there are other messengers too and gmail too offers video conversation in its mail. So enjoy
