Maybe Yahoo! Chat Servers are down....AGAIN!!! Or you need to update your Virtual Java Machine.

Try clicking on yahoo products on the home page of yahoo answers.  If it has to do with yahoo messenger , make sure ypager is checked in your start up list.  Start>run>msconfig>start up

Ok there is a chance that you might have a virus.\nBut probably there is a program running in the background.\nLike I normally have Folding@home running in the background and this program uses lots of cpu. One way to check if any programs is running in the background is to Right click on the taskbar(where the start and time clock is on your desktop)and now click on Task Manager.And while in task manager click on applications. Try to end task all the running applications and now click on performance and see it the cpu is still idle at 80%

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

Sounds normal.  If you think of a "process" as an activity, close to 100% will be asigned to your scans if that's all you're doing.  When you stop the scans, close to 100% of the CPU usage will be assigned to the System Idle Process (activity).  Kinda oxymoronic, but in this case being "idle" is also an activity.  If you have more than 1 process running at the same time, the CPU will determine which process needs (and gets) the most CPU usage.

Your processor could have Hyperthreading enabled, which treats one processor as two, and helps speed up multitasking.\n\n\nps) What processor do you have?  Mine only shows one graph, and I know I don't have hyperthreading.  Is it a newer intel processor?

Make sure you have the latest version of YM. I have experienced the same problem when I play java enabled games over messenger ie. pool. I also notice that it happens when YM is running slowly. Most frequent when I play pool with my cuz. I told him to update YM and we dont have the problem anymore. It seems like a java problem between differnt versions of YM.\n\nMake sure you have Sun's latest java updates.

you may have other programs running in your task bar or you have a virus.try defragmenting or deleting unused files.

Buggy RAM?  Was it all of a sudden?  Try running spyware tests.  Could be hidden programs task manager doesn't see.  You say you "sometimes" have the problem.  Any triggers that might set it off consistently?\n\nHave you considered reinstalling windows?  Might help.  Good luck.\n\n--An addition to Jerry's suggestion.  If the fan is kaput, the whole system will slow down.  I had a fan that was stuck from time to time.  Once I figured it out, my sys was back to normal.  Thank goodness I figured it out before the CPU fried.

do you have a firewall?  if not it is easier to get viruses.  but you should also download a spyware detection program (not the one on yahoos toolbar)that gets rid pf spyware.  a lot of times spyware is the problem.  you could also try.... after you try to turm ot off.... holding CTRL ALT DEL at the same time, and see what pops up in the task widow.  sometimes that can tell you what is not correctly responding!  I wish you lots of luck!\nmissdavis

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who finds that everything related to Yahoo is running slow in the past week or so.   I have broadband and Windows XP Prof.  For sure I don't use Nortons or Mcafee as they are junk.    \n\nI use Avast an until this past week I have had quick response.  Now I notice that Yahoo has slowed down.   I even removed their security device, at the bottom of your tray when you are in IE, there is a white squire box with a round yellow ball an "!", Closed the phishing device as I don't shop or bank on line, so I don't need Yahoo to scan each webpage before it opens to see if the page is rogue.    Made some difference in speed, still slow in my opinion.\n\nMust be Yahoo Servers, as I can think of nothing else. \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France\n\nExcuse my english

Sounds like it is not really idle... I would suspect some "adware/spyware" is "busy"

This is the Desktop Computer forum, not the Antiques forum ;-)\n\nIE is bloated, but that may not be all that's eating your memory.  I've run Win98SE on 32MB - slow, but still mostly usable.  Check for other processes eating memory. \n\nAnd upgrade to Firefox :)\n\np.s. "formatting", as suggested by another answer, is NOT the answer.

well.. as a matter of fact you have not included details to work with.\n\ntry uninstall yahoo messenger and see if ie works fine. \nif it works fine. then the problem is yahoo messenger. install older version of yahoo messenger from http://www.oldversion.com\n\nif even after uninstalling YM, the computer is still slow, then check for spywares. \n\ndownload some antispyware softwarese from http://www.download.com\n\nhope that helps.

Try reloading yahoo chat and see if that works. Otherwise it might be blocking java.
