If you have Real player installed on your computer most likely it's the culprit.you sahould be able to get an older version of messenger at this site\nhttp://www.oldversion.com/

Hi,\n\nThere are 2 reasons for this as I know it from my experience.\n\n1) Cookies, Try clearing your cookies, set your adware & malware programs to do that & also you IE to do it. Though this problem is very unlikely Yahoo & MS these days are acting cranky with all their Beta's going around.\n\n2) Your firewall is definitely the culprit. Try disabling your firewall & restart the messenger service. Remember you must end the service through taksmanager first & then restart the messenger from your start menu.\n\nApart from this if all these fail then try this. Log in to your yahoo account from IE or whichever browser you are using & go to account settings. Change your password there & signout. Relogin from your browser & logout. Now restart you messenger & try it.\n\nGood luck.

if you are using the new beta yahoo messenger this software probably do not work with this version of yahoo messenger. cause the name of the executable is different.\n\nbut if you have 7.0 or older version of yahoo messenger you may need select a different location (the location you have installed yahoo messenger).

Have you tried downloading the latest version?  If not, download it from messenger.yahoo.com.\n\nIf you have just recently updated and that caused a problem, delete the program and install an older version (you can usually find this on the Yahoo Messenger website, also.  A Yahoo search can even help you find an older version, if need be.

There was an outage with one of the servers within Yahoo! that supports the Music site and player, resulting in the problem you saw. This has since been resolved.

If you just installed the 7.5 beta messenger, uninstall it and put the old one back. I couldn't get into chat with the Beta version.

Uninstall the messenger from remove programs in the control panel. Then reinstall the messenger. That usually does the trick.

It might be of 3 problems.\n1)The problem might be with your sound device. It might not be properly configured. \n2)It might be the other party whom you are inviting dont have a sound card or device not configured properly. \n3)It might also be due the messenger version not compatible with each other\ncheck these three.

Yahoo was like that for a few days. The work around I used was logging into messanger and clicking the hotlink that told me i had new messages.  Since I no longer use Hotmail or MSN email, i no longer get the notifications of new email from MSN messanger.  You might try the workaround that i used? Kudos for good luck in finding out what is up with it.

Grrrrrr-I am having the same problem, and am not really interested in the update.  There is NO option to click "do not show me this message again", and it is very frustrating because it pops up quite frequently; not just when I log onto messenger (it has popped back in 4 times while I have been writing this).  I'm sorry I can be of no help, but please know you are not alone in this.\nI hope you get some good answers, and that I can borrow them!
