1. Reboot your computer.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard. This will bring up the Windows Security window. Click the "Task Manager" button and then click the "Task Manager" tab.
3. You will see a list of files/applications. These are the applications running in the background on your system, whether they show on your taskbar or not. Any one of these applications could be causing a conflict with the Yahoo! Messenger installation.
4. Click the top item on the list to highlight it. Then hold the "Shift" key down and click the last item on the list. This should highlight the whole list.
5. Click the "End Task" button. This will temporarily close all background applications on your system.
6. Click the "X" in the upper right corner to close the Task Manager window.
7. Install Yahoo! Messenger. You should not experience the same issue that you had before.
8. After Yahoo! Messenger is installed,run registry cleaner reginout also reboot your system. All other background applications will return to their original configurations.

Yahoo 10 will not install

Hi,
I also get this error with Yahoo Messenger 10. However it all works fine with version 9.0.
Version 10 is bugged in regards to Windows 7, so there is not much you can do until a patch comes out.
You can download an older version of Yahoo Messenger from here
http://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.p…


You should also make sure that Adobe Flahs Player is properly installed in Internet Explorer.
You can visit http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer with Internet Explorer to install it.

Hope this helps, wbwTeam

I can't install Yahoo! Messenger showing this error message:

The issue lies in the Firewall settings. The Windows Firewall has blocked the Application from connecting to Web Servers. You must have to unblock it to get the problem resolved. If you have a Anti-Virus Firewall, reconfigure it, this will erase the Firewall's rules and will ask again that do you want the application from connecting to internet. You allow it and then it can download.
Thank you Sir, Have a nice day.
