Because they upgraded the site and it requires the latest java script. go to www.java.com to make sure you have the latest version.

I received a message regarding a java update about 10mins ago.\nMy version is now updated.\nI don't know if this will affect you but do a software update for java anyway.\nIt must cure some current issues.\n\nhttp://www.java.com/en/\n\n.

It is not your computer, Yahoo put out a non-functional beta version of messenger for some reason. Uninstall it. Get version 7.0 or older (which actually works) from here\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nAlso, make sure you have the latest version of Java, which is needed for some Yahoo things to work. Get that here\nhttp://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp

are you able to connect to the internet ?\nif yes -> uninstall and reinstall the program\nif that doesnt help, check and see if other chat programs also have the same problem\nif yes, then you can try Dell, but it wont be free.

The internet provider might have restricted you to access Yahoo Chat rooms !!!

The new chat is really broken. IF you have version 7.5 Beta, uninstall it and get the 7.0 version here:\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

Have you tried re-installing the new version? Sometimes during a download packets are lost and the program will not run properly even if the install works perfect. I suggest removing your current version of yahoo IM completely then re-download the new version. That should make it work.

LMFAO!!! Yahoo's claiming to be upgrading the Chat rooms & features on Groups.  I don't miss it as I rarely went into one for the same reasons.  I've stuck to chatting on Yahoo's messenger & my AIM messenger.

Make sure you don't have Yahoo! Messenger running twice.  If you don't, then reinstall Messenger.  If it still bugs the crap out of you, download a third-party chat client.  \n\nwww.cheetachat.com\nwww.fxscripts.mychat.com

try installing yahoo messenger again. You will get the fast setup in the installation directory (C:&#92;program files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;installs&#92;)

Well depending on your browsr....are you using internet explorer mozzila or some other sort of internet browser if you  you may need to update or download the java,( java is a type of computer language mainly used in programming games). and if after downloading java and it still doesn't work than just GIVE UP(jokes)

Mabbe its because you are not 18 years of age.\nYahoo chatrooms are now available to only those who are 18yrs or more older
