I believe there a setting with Messenger that ask when to start, when computer boots up, etc.\n\nYou have to change that setting, so that it doesn't start up at that point.

if you are leaving your computer on with yahoo messenger on at same time, and your computer goes into stand-by mode yahoo will shut down.  I used to have this problem myself.  If you are unsure as to if this is happening, it is easier to log out of messenger when you get up from your computer and log back in when you sit back down.  Most computers go into standby mode after about 30 minutes, some as much as an hour.  Some older versions of Yahoo messenger used to hgave this problem as well.  Make sure you have the latest version of Yahoo Messenger, and with all of this information, it should help you.  Good Luck!

Reinstall Yahoo Messenger...it only takes a couple seconds.  If you don't have the .exe file, download it from the main Yahoo page.

maybe you dont have enough memory in your pc. yahoo messenger normally installs itself to quick launch bar which takes up a lot of memory. Get rid of some unnecessary programs that might be taking up your memory and you shouldnt have any problem

Hi,\n\nI presume you are talking about the dialog box that will keep popping up everytime you receive a message.\n\nStep 1: Go to Yahoo Messenger\nStep 2: Messenger -> Preferences\nStep 3: Alert & Sounds\nStep 4: Turn off the alert Sounds\nStep 5: Choose the "A messenger contact buzzes me"\nStep 6: Turn off the "Bringing the message window to the foreground"\nStep 7: Apply\nStep 8: OK\n\nrestart your Yahoo Messenger, the next time you should not encounter the popping up :)\n\ndboy\nMy Blog: http://dragonboy2006.blogspot.com

Well, its really a silly question or is incomplete.\nJust go into the Control Pannel, Click on the Add or Remove Programs , search for Yahoo Messenger there and click Remove.\n\nOr u can right click on the Yahoo Messenger Shorcut on ur desktop or in Start Menu and click Properties then click Find Target and when the Yahoo Messenger folder is openes search for a file which has a bin as its icon or is named as UNWISE and  doble click it.

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

Login once using Yahoo Messenger. Then go to the "preferences" menu and remove the check mark near "Start when windows starts". That's it.

get a pop-up blocker.  if you download the new yahoo messenger and load the toolbar, a pop-up blocker is included.

With the messenger program open, click on tools and go to Options. Go to preferences, and uncheck Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts. That should do it.

Yahoo so sucks sometimes.  I can't help on the "why", but what works for me when this happens is to do one of 2 things.\n\n1.  Completely exit out of Messenger, then sign back in.  If that     doesn't work, then I\n\n2.  Reboot my pc.

Try uninstalling, then use Registry Mechanic or anything of the sort to delete all Yahoo! Registry files, and then delete the Yahoo! Messenger (if it still exists)...\n\nThis is to guarantee that there is no settings saved by Yahoo! Available on the PC...\n\nThen try installing it again...\n\nIf it works but doesn't log-in, then check if Yahoo! is permitted to access the internet or not...check that in your Firewall Application...

That is associated with Microsoft Messenger. Since messenger is embedded in to your OS, courtesy of Microsoft you have to disable it from auto running. Here is what ya do:\n\nWhen the .net passport window pops up, hit cancel to bring you back to the main messenger window.\n\nIf hitting cancel does not open up messenger you will need to locate the program and do the following steps.. You can find messenger either in the bottom right corner of your task bar, or in the C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Messenger directory and double click on the msmsgs(.exe) icon.\n\nOnce you have the messenger program open go to Tools > Options. This will open up a dialogue box with all of your messenger options.\n\nProvided you do not want to use messenger, click on the “Preferences” tab at the top of the dialogue box and uncheck the following boxes:\n\n“Run Windows Messenger when Windows Starts”\n\n“Allow Messenger to run in the background”\n\nUn checking those two option will essentially “Turn off” messenger and it will not auto load each time you start your computer.\n\nClick the “ok” button\n\nClose the messenger window and that should do it. I would also check your start up to make sure it is not running in there as well. You can check that by doing the following:\n\nClick on the “Start” button from your task bar go to Programs > Start Up. If you see anything associated with the messenger program in there right click on it and choose delete.\n\nRestart your computer and viola, no more bothersome .net passport screen.

The probable cause could be you have a firewall client installed in your computer. Try disabling it before connecting to Yahoo messenger

Just remove program and install messenger again. Also check the internet connection.\n\nIn rare case you might have had a special preference of internet connection that does not let Yahoo Messenger program access Internt.
