Iam using Yahoo BETA version. I have OS XP, Pentium 3, 256MB RAM. My yahoo messenger gets stuck at times?

The word BETA means it's still in the testing stages, so there always will be glitches and bugs in the program.

This problem is strange. I would suggest, try reinstalling Yahoo Messenger. Try the latest version.\n\nI hope your PC is not acting weird otherwise. I would like to help you out more. Do IM me in case reinstalling does not solve your problem.\n\n\nCheers,\nManish

Depending on each computer and their relevent settings,some people do have trouble with Yahoo Messenger.If you continue to have problems, go to the messenger help site from your launched program and look for your issues there.\n\n            Good Luck!!!!!!!

It could be a temporary network issue on your side or even at Yahoo.  If the problem persists, re-install Yahoo messenger, or check your internet connection.

I am mad that they are making people install a problematic Beta version! Don't worry though, go here for 7.0\n\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

Not lately. My hard drive got nuked, so now I'm on my daughter's machine. You know the one, it can only handle messenger, OR anything else? Messenger AND something else crashes it every time...

It's not just you.  There must be something wrong with the servers. I am having trouble checking my mail and using messenger.  And when I open the Answers page it takes forever

try running a virus scan if you have the program\n\nthen completely delete all yahoo messenger components (actually, do this beforehand)\n\nthen try it once more.\n\nMyabe your computer doesn't have enough memory for it?\n\n\nhope I could help.

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.

Hi,\n\nThere are 2 reasons for this as I know it from my experience.\n\n1) Cookies, Try clearing your cookies, set your adware & malware programs to do that & also you IE to do it. Though this problem is very unlikely Yahoo & MS these days are acting cranky with all their Beta's going around.\n\n2) Your firewall is definitely the culprit. Try disabling your firewall & restart the messenger service. Remember you must end the service through taksmanager first & then restart the messenger from your start menu.\n\nApart from this if all these fail then try this. Log in to your yahoo account from IE or whichever browser you are using & go to account settings. Change your password there & signout. Relogin from your browser & logout. Now restart you messenger & try it.\n\nGood luck.

1) Try reinstalling it.\n2) If it doesn't help, wait until another day to talk to your friend - sometimes it acts up because of internet connection that day (happened to me).\n3) If it still doesn't work, use Yahoo!Messenger with voice instead.

may be it is becoz of ur internet connection. are u sure it is disconnecting at regular intervals? if so, u can try to reinstall the yahoo messenger again. try to install the previous version. currently they r giving the beta version. it got so many bugs. so try to get the previous version of beta.
