Re-installing yahoo messenger will defenitely solve your problem. But dont give "Repair" or "Custom" While uninstalling. Choose "Automatic" and uninstall.\n\nNOTE:\nThe log files in which your IM conversations are stored will also be deleted when you uninstall. You are adviced to take a backup copy of it before uninstalling so that you dont miss any important notes saved in conversation log.\n\nI am not responsible for any loss or damage.

You may have a corrupt file in your Messenger directory. \nTo fix the problem, you must manually delete the Messenger directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Messenger program. \nClose the Messenger program & make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed. \n\nGo to your desktop and double-click on My Computer. \nClick on C: drive. \n\nGo to: \n\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92; \nHighlight the Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard. (All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Please see below.) \nThe next step is to install: \nClose all running programs except for your Internet browser. \n\nPlease visit the Messenger home page: \nhttp://messenger.yahoo.com/ \n\nClick the Get it now button. \nTo copy your complete Message Archive: \nClose Messenger (if it is currently running). \n\nGo to your Desktop and double-click My Computer. \nSelect the C: drive. \n\nGo to: \n\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles \nYour Profiles folder contains your complete Message Archive.

Yes you can uninstall the other chat programs or keep them on.  It won't make any difference.  However, Trillion does seem to have some issues that I've experienced that the other chats didn't have and I ended up dl-ing yahoo chat and un-st the others because it works best.

If you dont think your computer can take it, try downloading the older version of yahoo since they take up less memory.\n\nGo to this page:\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

You can go down to the taskbar, & click right on the messenger face, & at the bottom it says "exit", click it, then go back to your homepage, & type Yahoo Messenger in your address bar, & re-install it again, if you wish.\nIt will most likely say that you already have it installed, but you can install over that, & when you log-on, & you want to have messenger show up also, make sure that you go to  in yahoo  messenger, "preferences", & go to "general", & the little square where it says to "signing out of yahoo messenger" just make sure the box is cleared. you can also go to your homepage & go to "tools", then "browser options" & where it says when browser signs out, ( the box where it says AUTOMATICALLY SIGN-OUT OF Yahoo MESSENGER), make sure it's cleared.
