As long as you don't have any custom settings or skins or anything on your yahoo messenger, then no it should be the same, unless you installed your messenger application after you made your restore point. As far as 360 goes, no all the information for your 360 page is saved on yahoo's servers and as long as they don't all crash at the same time then it will be safe.

somthing has to be causing it to do so but in the mean time you can close it. system 32 is just a folder full of vital operating system componets. you can tey a msconfig and see if it is listed there and check if it is then you need to uncheck it apply it

Vista won't let you install software unless you are the Administrator, and user accounts no longer have administrative access enabled by default. That is one of the "Features" that Microsoft implemented to make it more secure. Discard the Vista Beta, revert to Windows XP, and go back to having administrative access until you understand access levels and permissions. By that time Vista will be available on store shelves, and hopefully out of Beta. Otherwise, reboot and sign in as the System Administrator before you download Yahoo Messenger. While you are signed on as Admin, you might think about granting your user account admin priveleges. That will make it more like XP, but ultimately less secure.

Re-install Yahoo Messenger.

I would start by doing a complete uninstall first.\n\nuninstall yahoo completely. Just deleting it wont uninstall it all.\n\nalso go to your registry and delete any yahoo references. If you don't know how to do that you need to ask another question.\nBut you can access the registery by going to start/run and type in regedit.  but be careful you dont screw it up.\n\nthen try again with a new fresh install.

If you are using windows xp then run system restore to restore your computer at a previous point before you ran registry editor. \nstart > all programs > accessories > system tools > system restore\nYou should make a backup of registry before you use any registry cleaning program. In that case you can safely go back to the previous setting.\nTo manually backup registry.\nClick on start > run\nType regedit\npress ok\nIn the registry editor press\nFile > Export \nGive a name. The registry settings file is saved in My Documents folder by default.\nYou can use File > Import and select the file to go back to your old settings.

Great Question and thank you for participating. It's great that we have the ability to enable and disable the system restore as there are many trojans, viruses and other malicious programs that have the ability hide in particular places so that even if you restore your computer back to a certain date when everything was working well or even completely remove your Windows Program so that they can rewrite themselves into the new changes just as soon as you boot up for the first time. By disabling the system restore, those malicious programs cant follow you if you completely format the hard drive and put in a new, fresh copy of Windows XP or whatever Platform you're using. By enabling the system restore, you'll be able to restore the computer back to a date when everything was working fine. This will end any new or arising issues due to conflicts in any hardware or software that you may have added recently and is now causing problems. You will of course lose any and all programs and changes you've made since the date you choose to restore back to so be sure to think it all out before hitting buttons. If I can help further, let me know. Always happy to help. Larry Radio Shack 01-9590

No Friggin Way...Your Docs Yes But Yor Programs No...They Need Registy Entries To Function Properly...Windows XP Has This Nifty Little Feature That Allows You To 'Update' From A Previous Version Of Windows And Keep All Your Files And Settings...You Might Wanna Try That.....

Have you gone into your Control Settings after clicking the START button?  You can add/delete programs there, and I know that you can rid yourself of all Yahoo profiles.  I am surprised that the place in which you purchased your computer didn't clean out the hard drive.  If all else fails, i'd contact them and ask that they clean it out for you.

Pfft, nevermind what the guy before me said. Click Start -> Run -> type msconfig -> click the last tab, labled startup, then uncheck msn messenger, and check Yahoo! Messenger...\n\n\nregards, \n\n\nJames

You can go down to the taskbar, & click right on the messenger face, & at the bottom it says "exit", click it, then go back to your homepage, & type Yahoo Messenger in your address bar, & re-install it again, if you wish.\nIt will most likely say that you already have it installed, but you can install over that, & when you log-on, & you want to have messenger show up also, make sure that you go to  in yahoo  messenger, "preferences", & go to "general", & the little square where it says to "signing out of yahoo messenger" just make sure the box is cleared. you can also go to your homepage & go to "tools", then "browser options" & where it says when browser signs out, ( the box where it says AUTOMATICALLY SIGN-OUT OF Yahoo MESSENGER), make sure it's cleared.

Do you remember the date that started the problem to show up?   You can take any of this 2 steps:\n\n      1.- Use the command SCANREG/ RESTORE in a MS DOS WINDOW:\n\n             C: SCANREG/ RESTORE\n\n              A screen will appear with different dates that the Register has changed,  you can compare it with the one that the problem started and select the one before IT HAPPEN. \n\n              The computer will RESTART and THE RESTORED MESSENGER will be EXACTLY as it worked BEFORE.\n\n       2. .- Use the RESTORE FUNCTION to restore your PROGRAMS before YOU HAVE this PROBLEM.\n\n          The sequence is:\n              START - PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - SYSTEM TOOLS - RESTORE, then FOLLOW the INSTRUCTIONS on the SCREEN and VOILA!  you'll be back to your old SETTINGS, please take in CONSIDERATION the DATES OF RESTORATION and PROCEED with the LAST change of SETTINGS... \n\n              Wish you BEST OF LUCK!!!\n\n                    Armando

Simply put, if you have no experience in using the registry, then NO. BUT - you could uninstall your applications and re-install on a different drive...just make sure you do a full unistall (not keeping any user settings) or you'll end up with problems.

The above post is instruction on how to restore your registry and select system files only, this most likely will not give you the desired results (especially since, by default, it only creates a backup of the last 5 successful bootups) and can actually cause errors in some applications.  \n\nTo reset the PC use either the restore disks that came with the PC if you have them or reformat and reinstall Windows using a full install version of 98.  Windows 98SE also supports the upgrade to Windows XP.  If you're interested, check here to see if your computer meets the recommended (not minimum - it will be very slow) requirements.\n\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/xpready/default.asp

Well actually your contacts in the old messenger will not be gone when you have a new computer because it is in the net so even if you go anywhere and you want to login to the yahoo messenger your contacts will always be there.In case if you change your yahoo ID then you have to do that all over

Your question is not clear\nbut assuming you have XP,\nwhen you have registered, system automatically makes a restore\npoint,\njust go to:\nstart menu > program files > system tools > system restore \nand choose " Restore to an earlier time "\nit shows you a time table which you can choose your restoration\ntime.\nBeware that you will lose your recent installed programs but your\ncopied data like mp3s,pictures and so on will not change.
