Hey, I could have a look with remote support. Im pretty confident that I can get it to work for you
You will need to open this link.
http://www.fastsupport.com/346570500

on the page click the link which says manually download the software, people have had problems with the automatic installer.

After that, it will ask for your permission and start up a remote support session.

  • Ekse Oct 05, 2008

    As there are 2 other experts before me, the session may not work when you get to see it, in that case, my email is nikoht at gmail dot com. or leave a comment here.

  • Ekse Oct 05, 2008

    Few things I can suggest:



    Uninstall all yahoo software from your computer

    start -> control panel -> programs (or add or remove programs)

    Then try again



    Right click the setup file and select run as administrator



    Download the software again, make sure its ment for your operating system.



    Disable antivirus and firewall during installation, optionally you may unplug your internet

  • Anonymous Oct 05, 2008

    goto processes and stop all the processes which are not familiar to you running under your user name.

    and then try to remove all old versions of yahoo and remove all related folders in OS drive.

    and then now install new version

Messenger 10 social-view plugin error is occuring when signing on, then no other plugins will appear

Uninstall everything yahoo related from add/remove programs. Go to your C:, then Program Files and delete the yahoo folder from there also. Now go download ccleaner from www.download.com and run the cleaner, once that is done run the registry cleaner a couple times.

Try re-installing the latest yahoo from there. IF that failed also, you have one last shot that will work but it can be tedious a bit and a little dangerous so make sure to back up your files before proceeding. If the error still happens, do all of the above except for re-installing the yahoo. Now from the run command (Windows Logo Key + R), type: regedit <Hit ENTER>. Up top click on Edit and then click Find. Type: Yahoo! <Hit Enter>. Delete what it found and then press F3 to find the next yahoo! item. Delete everything it finds till there are no more matches found. Close the Regedit and reboot the pc. Now re-install the latest Yahoo Messenger and the problem is gone. I have done this several times for clients and this fixes it 100% of the time. Cheers!

When trying to install yahoo messenger it gets almost done then says confirgation is incorrect

Above the Yahoo! Answers logo is Help. Click it. Once it loads, click the Yahoo! Help logo, this will bring you to the main help page. Click on messenger, then the version of messenger you're trying to download.
Once the page loads, up at the top on the bar it says Contact Us. Click it. Write to Yahoo! Customer Care.

When i send e-mail,,,windows mail goes through,but yahoo does not,,,,and yahoo should not be trying to send...i want yahoo but its interfering with windows mail..

I assume that you can have access to your yahoo.com account, and also that you have Yahoo messenger installed.
If not, then download it and install it now.
Create your account, etc

Then open your browser, and click on Tools.
Select Internet Options
Look for the Programs tab and click on it.

To the right of the E-mail section, click on the dropdown arrow, and select Yahoo.
Click Apply then OK

From now on, everytime you want to send an email, Yahoo email will be your first choice.
Hope this helps
