The easiest way to solve Yahoo Messenger trouble connecting issues for non...

"The easiest way to solve Yahoo Messenger trouble connecting issues for non computer experts"

There are a lot of issues coming out nowadays from computer users around the globe. Trouble accessing yahoo products like Yahoo Messenger is one of their primary concern. Others opinion stated that it was the new system implemented by yahoo developer to prevent abuse and against its terms. Spamming is widely spreading. Is this the reason why its hard to log in?

I, myself have experienced this. Unable to log in for more than a month.

Recently, I found out that Yahoo Messenger rely its connection through Windows Internet Explorer. Which means that if its hard for you to log in to yahoo messenger, better to do is upgrade your Internet Explorer.

What about computers using different browser? it doesn't matter. If you want to improve the connection of your Yahoo Messenger, Install the latest version of Internet Explorer that is compatible with your present operating system (WinXP, WinXP-32, WindowsVista, WindowsVista-64). Just install it and don't default it as your browser (if the default is different browser)

After upgrading, it is important to uninstall your Yahoo Messenger and install it again. Or if possible upgrade to a newer version too. After successful installation, restart your computer. You will see the big difference. Log in in just a second. Forget those frequent trials logging in, asking experts what to do and asking friends to help you fix it. Few days gone by and no one can help you.

Try this tip. It will surely helps.
