My yahoo messenger isnt working and its not because the server was down?

Question

I had to repost this because people gave me so much **** about people already posting this. My yahoo messengers chat box doesnt show anything when i try to talk to people does anyone know how to fix this? (this has been going on for months now)

You still dont get it its not because the server was down mine has done this for a while its a problem with the program ive tryed reinstalling it and i cant find anyone else having this problem

Answer 1

Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Then click to change/remove yahoo messenger. When the box comes up select repair and click next.

If that doesn't work, I would suggest uninstalling it and the re-installing it.

It should work after that. If not you might have a virus on your computer.



I can't see the instant messages.

When you send or receive an instant message and no message appears, you probably have scripting disabled in your Internet Explorer.

To enable scripting:

Click the "Tools" menu on your Internet Explorer toolbar and select "Internet Options."
Click the "Security" tab.
Click the Internet (globe) icon and click the "Custom Level" button.
Scroll down to "Scripting."
Enable the following:
Active scripting
Allow paste operations via script
Scripting of Java applets are all enabled
Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.
Note: Restart Yahoo! Messenger and you should start seeing text in your IM windows again.
