I'm going to guess you're computer is running on Windows. I'm using Windows 7 and but the other versions will be very similar. I would recommend removing Messenger and reloading it. Click on the Start button and choose 'Control Panel' from the pop-up window. Under 'Programs' click on 'Uninstall a Program'. Go down the list and find 'Yahoo Messenger' probably at the very bottom since they are listed alphabetically. Right click on in and select 'Uninstall/Change'. Follow the instructions to uninstall. Then go to Yahoo and download a clean version of Messenger. I hope this helps

I'VE GOT IT!

Whether you are using XP or Vista, go to System Restore, follow the instructions and you will be taken to a point in the past that you either a) didn't have a Messenger hang or b) before installed Messenger and then you can do it again.

It doesn't affect any documents.

I should have remembered this myself but one of the guys on a forum that I am a member of reminded me of this solution.

Go to it...it's cake.

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..
