No. Yahoo has been having a few issues as of late. It happened in a few groups I use that are not political in nature.\nBTW It's Martial Law.

you have to reset your security settings to allow messenger...you r prooly behind a firewall...especially if you downloaded the security package from charter cable...

Using Yahoo! messenger, you cannot login twice on same machine.  Instead, you can try logging in with yahoo with one user and use website like http://www.e-messenger.net/ for second.  Or you can also get softwares like GAIM or Trillian.  All of them are very reliable and safe and FREE!

some glitches appear on answers, and yahoo in general, from time to time.  if it's happening now to you, it's probably happening for everybody.  server problems are usually the culprit.\n\nyou'll still have access to your questions and watch list... it just might take awhile for the bugs to get worked out of the system.\n\nadd:::  i just checked mine and refreshed a few times... everything seems fine right now.

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.

you have to be logged on as administrate on your PC. and it can be several problems or issues. You need to look in Help for Yahoo Messenger and search for whatever error message you are getting to find out why.

There are a few possibilities. If it was general slowness, and not getting stuck after connecting, there would be a lot more, but I'll stick with the obvious ones for just connecting to the internet.\n\n(1) Most likely is Spyware. Run a check, preferably with more than one tool. You can get Ad-Aware SS and Spybot S&D from http://www.download.com/ but the best overlooked free tool is Pest Patrol from the Yahoo! toolbar. All free.\n\n(2) A virus. AVG is the best free Virus scanner---If you don't have a current updated virus program, check it out. Some viruses will wait for you to have an internet connection and use your computer as a spam or attack machine without you knowing.\n\n(3) Interference with a security program. Make sure your Firewall/Security program AND IE version are totally up to date, and this problem rarely happens. Try disabling the security program and see if the problem starts.\n\nIf these things don't help, try using an alternate browser, like Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/ Best of luck!

The reason it is coming back to the sign in screen is because it cannot connect to yahoo .. there are a number of reasons possible for this..\n\n1)Is the computer in question running sbc yahoo!  and/or norton antivirus by any chance?   If so, Norton antivirus 2003 doesnt like messenger - open Norton antivirus (should be in the system tray somewhere), click on options and uncheck the messenger options that you want to allow on your pc.\n\n2) Are you sure you have your userid and password correct for yahoo! mail?  Check this by logging into some other yahoo! site - e.g. go to my.yahoo.com and type in your userid and password, and if this works you know you have the correct userid and password.\n\n3) Is the pc set up to automatically sign into Yahoo! as someone else?  If so, when you try to sign in using your password it may fail.  The best way to do this is to click on the "sign out" link or "sign in as another user" link (depending upon which yahoo mail screen you are seeing).  Then sign in using the sign in link that comes up (or simply type in the userid and password at this point).\n\n4) There are a number of other possibilities causing this issue - but you appear to be able to surf to other web pages so I think I can discount those.  If you are still having problems go to www.exceptiona.com and contact the consultants there, they will help you.

Your computer may have malicious software on it. Question: when your online do you get a lot of pop ups? Does you computer seem to be operating slower than usual? Go to the microsoft site and try the new One Care beta. It'll scan for viruses, perform pc maintenance automatically, and allow you to make backups. You can download it from here: \nhttp://www.windowsonecare.com/\nIf your OS is free of malicious software and you still encounter problems during the install, try the suggestions from Yahoo. The page for messenger install problems is here: \nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/tech/tech-47717.html\n\nhope this helps.

for some reason, the service might be down. if not, try to check your firewall and configure it to allow all connections for yahoo messenger. Also, u could try a clean install of our yahoo messenger on your pc.. uninstall and install the latest version.\n\nbut i think its because of the service is down.. but however, good luck in trying my solutions.

delete yahoo! messenger and reinstall it again.it's probably has some compatibility issues or bugs.It is also sometimes caused by a virus, but not if don't think so.

That's absolutely wrong for Tenerife and Madrid. Not sure for Torrevieja. I just had a chat on Yahoo with my cousin sister in Madrid and also one of my friend in Tenerife.\n\nBut yahoo messenger had problems last night, no one was able to login, it was taking at least 5 minutes to login and once logged in, it was disconnecting every single minute.\n\nOh, i just checked, yahoo is not working in TEXAS either. I think there is some problem or perhaps some maintenance going on in yahoo. Or someone has hacked yahoo server.
