You might want to wait for the pc settings to fully load.\nAlso it is an good idea to turn the power of on the modem and wait for 5 Min's then switch back on and wait another 5 Min's, this will clear the cache.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

First, I'd recommend uninstalling your Messenger and downloading and installing the newest verson from Yahoo!  When you do this, though, you might have a corrupt file in your Yahoo! Messenger directory. To fix the problem, you must manually delete the "Messenger" directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Yahoo! Messenger application.\n\nTo delete the directory:\nClose the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed. \nGo to your desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nClick the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!\nHighlight the Yahoo! Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard. (All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Please see below.)\n\nTo install:\nClose all running applications except for your Internet browser.\nVisit the Yahoo! Messenger home page.\nClick the "Download Now" button.\n\nTo copy your complete Message Archive:\nClose Yahoo! Messenger (if it is currently running). \nGo to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer." \nSelect the "C:" drive. \nGo to:\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles\nYour "Profiles" folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the same location on another computer if you wish to view it elsewhere.\n\nNote: If you copy this folder to another computer, your complete Message Archive will be copied, overriding the Message Archive on the computer to which you are copying.\n-------------------------------------------------------------\nAfter that, if you still have problems, make sure that you have the latest version of Macromedia's Flash Player installed, as Messenger uses certain Flash components on startup.  \n\nBeyond that, your Yahoo! Messenger connection information may be incorrect. Follow these steps to configure your connection:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Firewall with no proxies" option.\nSelect the correct Internet connection type and country from the pull-down menus.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nThe above configuration works in most situations. (However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the Voice feature.) If this configuration doesn't work, follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "No network detection" option and then click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in again with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button. \nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button.\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\nClick the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Connection Preferences."\nEnable the "Use proxies" option. \nEnter your firewall or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet service provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nClick the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.\nYahoo! Messenger will ask you if you want to sign in with your new proxy settings. Click the "OK" button.\nEnter your Yahoo! ID and password and click the "Sign In" button. \n------------------------------------------------------\nIf you try all of the steps above and Yahoo! Messenger

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.

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.

Well im not sure what version of AIM you are using, but if you want to keep it from starting up, you can right-click on the icon in the taskbar and click on Preferences, then under the Sign On/Off selection, just un-check the box next to Start AIM when Windows Starts. Not sure for the Yahoo Messenger, dont use it. For the firewall problem, you want to go to the Control Panel on your computer (Can get there from the Start Menu in most cases) then find the thing that says Security Center, Under the firewall section, there should be something saying, let me manage my firewall myself, or something like that, will let you disable monitoring if its on or not. In your case it seems it is, but Windows just doesn't recognize that it is on and working.

you would probably have to remove the messenger program from the add/remove program and try going into the chat line again!
