Perhaps it might be blocked? Are you a minor that has a parent blocking certain actions on other log-in screens?\n\nOr there could be problems with your internet connection...it may be unstable. Or, call up AOL or e-mail their customer service if your are talking about AIM.

Make sure Yahoo! messenger has access to Internet. If you have a firewall, you must make sure some ports are open for Y!IM.\n\nFor more information on configuring your firewall to accept Y!IM, click here:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/tech/tech-47713.html

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...

I've had the same problem with messenger in the past. It probably isn't anything you are doing wrong. More than likely all of yahoo messenger is messed up. Try contacting yahoo...there should be a troubleshooting site. I usually just either notify them or give up.

just uninstall ur yahoo messenger and download it again.it will work properly.this is happening because ur messenger's main .exe file is corrupted.
