block the sites yahoo messenger connects to.\nYou should be able to get the site getting connected from the log.\nAlso the port which are used.

(Update following posting of 'Additional Information' by the inquirer)\n\nThis really is a wierd situation. It's hard to tell whether this is a problem with your account, or your computer browser setting.\nTo figure this out, you could do the following: -\n - get a friend to sign in to Yahoo Message Boards using your computer\n\n- Create another account with Yahoo and see if the problem persists.\n\nIf it is the first case, then there's definitely something not quite right with your browser settings. \n\nHope this helps\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nCould give more information on which type of browser you are using, (internet explorer, or Firefox/Mozilla), and if you have enabled Javascript please?\n\n(The commonst cause could be the latter - you haven't enabled javascrpt to run)

I have the same problem at my company, messengers are blocked by a proxy server, i solved it by using "Gaim"\n\nGaim uses the http method, it connects to the server as the browser does, if browsing is allowed at the company, this messenger will work for sure\n\ndownload from: http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gaim/gaim-1.5.0.exe\n\nP.S: Remember to check "use http method" box in the options dialogue

Yahoo messenger which installS online normally have problems or bugs because, when it downloads files from yahoo, either due to connectivity problems or something else, the messenger does not get properly installed.\n\nIt is better to have a full-version install, then an online install\n(i too used online install on my win XP, but i had the same problem, so it is better to have a full-version setup file saved on the comp).

Maybe the system is not compatible or if you had a old Yahoo Messenger on it you need to uninstal it.

First, I'd recommend uninstalling your Messenger and downloading and installing the newest verson from Yahoo!  When you do this, though, you might have a corrupt file in your Yahoo! Messenger directory. To fix the problem, you must manually delete the "Messenger" directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Yahoo! Messenger application.\n\nTo delete the directory:\nClose the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed. \nGo to your desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nClick the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!\nHighlight the Yahoo! Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard. (All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Please see below.)\n\nTo install:\nClose all running applications except for your Internet browser.\nVisit the Yahoo! Messenger home page.\nClick the "Download Now" button.\n\nTo copy your complete Message Archive:\nClose Yahoo! Messenger (if it is currently running). \nGo to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nSelect the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles\nYour "Profiles" folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the same location on another computer if you wish to view it elsewhere.\n\nNote: If you copy this folder to another computer, your complete Message Archive will be copied, overriding the Message Archive on the computer to which you are copying.\n-------------------------------------------------------------\nAfter that, if you still have problems, make sure that you have the latest version of Macromedia's Flash Player installed, as Messenger uses certain Flash components on startup.  \n\nBeyond that, your Yahoo! Messenger connection information may be incorrect. Follow these steps to configure your connection:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Firewall with no proxies" option.\nSelect the correct Internet connection type and country from the pull-down menus.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nThe above configuration works in most situations. (However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the Voice feature.) If this configuration doesn't work, follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "No network detection" option and then click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button. \nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Use proxies" option. \nEnter your firewall or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet service provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button. \n------------------------------------------------------\nIf you try all of the steps above and Yahoo! Messenger

check the settings you may still be blocked-un-check the box and you should be your way.  \n\nAnother way is to delete it and then re-install it.  \n\nBe very careful in chat rooms.  They have been proved dangerous to your health

If you dont think your computer can take it, try downloading the older version of yahoo since they take up less memory.\n\nGo to this page:\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

Hey pal,\n\nWhich kind of messenger do you have? If your are using a messenger try too uninstall it and remove it from program files.\n\nIf you are using internet explorer for chatting try to check the java plug-in, because normally most of chatrooms is based on java.\n\nCiao,

This might not help, but trying won't do any harm...\n\nOpen your messenger and click on preferences (or hold Ctrl+Shift+P), and select the connections option.\nIf it's set to No proxies, change it to Firewall with no proxies, then select your connection settings, press apply then try to connect again.\nIf this doesn't work then try playing around with the preferences, but remember to return it to the original settings if nothing fixes the problem.\nIf all else fails, uninstall and re-install again, and if that fails contact Yahoo messenger help (F1 in messenger).\n\nGood luck!
