I dont know about which chat room you are talking , but in most cases people forget installing Java Virtual Machine, Flash player. But if you are talking about yahoo chat room , try reinstalling

You have a bad internet connection at the time, so when the browser tries to contact the yahoo server, it take him too long to reply so the connection stops...Click refresh page a few times... Also may be a problem with the Yahoo server, wich I doubt... Anyway, It happends to me once in a while but in my case always worked after a few refreshes...

◙ download this yahoo chat client. it is way better than using the chats on the yahoo site. these are the same rooms just a better way of using them http://www.yahelite.org/

It is not your computer, Yahoo put out a non-functional beta version of messenger for some reason. Uninstall it. Get version 7.0 or older (which actually works) from here\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nAlso, make sure you have the latest version of Java, which is needed for some Yahoo things to work. Get that here\nhttp://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp

the yahoo servers act crazy sometimes. it happens to many users. \nyahoo servers do not communicate with each other in the best way on MYYAHOO.

Hi Iam also having the same kind problem (slightly diff). \n\nLet me describe more eloboratley. I am using Y! Messenger 7.5 with voice. My OS is XP. \nWhen i log in & click on Messenger|Chat|Join a room, a window appears allowing us to enter a chat room. But when i click a room & click "Join", a message appears saying "This request was refused" & after some time a message appears saying "Joining into room took longer than expected. Please try again later". \nBut when i try again later even after so many days, the same set of messages appear. I am running firewall. But that does not hinder Y! Messenger.\nPlease help us!

i get the "joining a chat room took longer than expected" message every time i try to join a chat room too, so i no longer bother with it because yahoo has screwed it up.\n\nso i just go to http://www.yahoochat.com to chat now because messenger is absolute rubbish!

Dude, depends on what region of the world you are in. Yahoo has blocked certain chatrooms for certain countries. Same as MSN did this a few months ago. Try using a utiity like yahelite. You can find it at www.yahelite.org. This usually solves the problem.\n\nHope this helps.

◙ yahoo works perfectly everytime i go to use it. turn off your computer and restart it. this fixes many many offline and online computer problems.

It has to do with your PC settings or the specific chat room. Different on-line chat sites will allow different settings.

yahoo uses java based chatrooms so the reason u cant talk long is ur java settings. u need to fix them or get a later version of java. hope this helps

Mine's not working either...I'm sure it's just a temporary glitch...click on the help button and send a tech support message to Yahoo, I will too...if they get enough of them maybe they'll do something about it.

There may be two reasons.. \n\n1. your firewall may not be allowing it.. disable firewall..\n2. You may be using internet through a proxy server.. you can set the address of proxy server in yahoo messenger.. In the preferences menu
