You can have as many IM's as you like installed, although i would only use 1 at a time, try doing a java update and reinstalling live messenger, then do a microsoft update

Yahoo messenger has stopped working

I have gotten this issue several times being a tech for the HP notebook division and I found a simple solution for it.

Right Click on the Yahoo! Messenger icon on the desktop and select properties.
Click on the Compatibility Mode tab
Check the box at the top to enable it and make sure the mode is Windows XP SP2.
Select ok.
Restart machine.

I hope this works for you all. =)
