I logged out last night & now the happyface icon in my systemtray, is gone 2day. NOwhere to be found in my files, folders or sub folders. HOW can it just disappear like that? I went to download Messenger w/voice but it says it's already ON. Why don't I have access to it??!!!  \nI AM SO irritated.

Are you using MAC or windows? Try to use finder or search on the computer - and try to find YAHOO messenger. Maybe its just hiden on the system. \n\nIf its not on the system, maybe it was uninstalled or deleted.

Click "Start" in the bottom left corner, Look for something called "Control Panel" and double-click it. Then from there, find something that says "Add/Remove Programs" or something along those lines...Look at the list, find the Messenger and remove it. If you neet a more technical answer, I can give you one. Lol.

I never had problems today. \n\nWhy dont you try installing it again? Do a complete remove and then reinstall it. There might be a spyware or a software that got installed that might have corrupted one of your yahoo messenger files.

It was a piece of malware you had installed. Odds are something cleaned it up for you. Go to Tools, Manage Add-ons, and find any reference to it and set it to "disable". Also, Start - Run - msconfig - OK, go to Startup tab, look for anything else in there and uncheck it. When you reboot check the box that comes up and hit OK so you won't see it again.

Have you tried that revolutionary search tool located at top right corner of your screen?  Try Spotlight, if it doesn't find it, then you've somehow managed to delete it.  If this is the case, it can be restored using your system software disk.

I know from experience that it is a very Old Version 4.7 messenger that comes with the windows package and Cannot be deleted from your computer.  The only thing you can do is find it on your program files.  (The icon will look different than the new MSN Messenger Live.)  Open the old version 4.7 messenger (check the help tab to be sure it is the 4.7 version) and \ngo to \ntools \noptions \nGeneral tab.  \nUNcheck all the boxes there\nClick Apply and OK.  \nIf you cannot find it in program files then you will need to find it in the  'C'  Windows folder and follow above instructions. \nThen I deleted the icon from program files so it is Not opened accidently.  It does Not delete it from computer unfortunately but it is the best we can do for now.  \nE

Maybe, maybe not.  He might be in stealth mode.  When I log on, my messanger logs me in as invisible.  Why don't you just ask him.

It doesnt need to be added to start up in order to work properly. Go to messenger.yahoo.com click the download link. It will automatically download & install & create the icons. You should be good to go.

There is something going around (hotbar) that offers emoticons, for free.  If you've downloaded it, you have opened up to an attack.  That is just what this does, takes over the PC, and will not allow your homepage to work.  If it isn't too far advanced yet, you can get an ad-aware program that will clean things up.  I'm assuming you've gone into internet options and tried to change it back to you your preferred home page already.  If you can't get out to get an ad ware remover, or install it, you may just have to format to get rid of it.  I've found two that I could not clean up, and one that did clean up with out formatting.  I had to do a complete format and re-install of the OS to get rid of that problem in my own PC just a couple of months ago.

go to messenger.yahoo.com, and click "Get It Now" -- if you mean icons, like the smileys, yes, they are a part of the download.  if you mean the *avatars*, that's slightly unrelated.  you will need a Yahoo account, whether for email or messenger.  then go to avatar.yahoo.com, and figure it out from there.

Check to make sure it's still on your computer.  Go to start, control panel, then add/remove programs.  Is it on the list of programs?  If not, you may have to reinstall it.  Have you tried restarting your computer?  Try that first.

Here is a idea.\nHow to reappear the icons?\nStep 1-Right Click on your desktop.\nStep 2-Select "Properties"\nStep 3-Go to the "Desktop" tab.\nStep 4-Click on the "Customize Desktop..." Button.\nStep 5-You should be on the "General" Tab. Go and click the "Restore Default" button.\nStep 6-Click Ok\nHopefully that will work. :)

Hi Bog,\nI think I can Help you from losses in the future. Sign in to Yahoo Messenger and click Messenger > Preferences. In the Category List Click >Archive. Check BOTH the buttons that say : Yes, save all my messages and : Yes, save my call history. Click > Apply. Then click > OK. Now, Yahoo will automatically save EVERY single message and EVERY single conversation even if you get logged out suddenly. When you have signed back in, you can go to Contacts > Message Archive and retrieve them. If you wish to restart a conversation you lost, click on the yellow folder of the yahoo ID in the Message Archive. Then go to the Menu Bar and click Message > Reply. Hope this helps in Future.\nTC\nLove\nAngel Doll
