You have downloaded Yahoo massanger but you have not installed. Search for Yahoo in ur computer and click the folder and install. If u are a new user register 'new user' before u log on.

Yahoo AOL and others don't have options like MSN's "see who has added you as his friend"\n\n:)

Go to yahoo home page and where it says messenger, click on that and down load it. There will be promps to follow. After you are done, you will have yahoo msger and you can start going into chat room and add friends. You can also add friends that you know that already have yahoo msger.

you can try uninstalling and reinstalling yahoo messenger. And again adding the names this will most probably solve the problem.

I am using IM...no problem. If you have problem you reinstall it. You can chat with me when I am on line..otherwise send an offline message. I will answer you.Check your account setting.

Sounds like somebody is sending you an IM boot.  Normally if you close your IM's (change the settings to accept them only from people on your friends list) the problem will stop.

I am assuming you have already downloaded Yahoo! Messenger.\n\nSign in to messenger. At the top you will see Messenger , Contacts, Actions, Help.\n\nClick Actions. In the drop menu click Send an Instant Message.

There could be a problem with your internet connection or with Instant Messengers server.  Try turning off Instant Messenger and then signing on again.

If you are using chat from Messenger, you can go to preferences in Messenger and select "Ignore List" and select the radio button that says "Ignore anyone who is not on my Messenger List".  After that, only people who you have added will be able to IM you.  If you are working in Yahoo web chat, I don't know if you can do that.  I don't use it.

Do you want to prevent persons from contacting you through mail and instant messenger? Or do you want to allow people to contact you using these means? If it's the former, simply go to the "edit my profile" option on your Q&A page, read through the info and deselect the options that allow persons to communicate with you through these methods. If you want people to be able to get in touch with you through email or messenger, go to your Q&A page, click "edit my profile" and select those options permiting them to do so.\n\nIf you need more detailed assistance. Message me and I'll try to help.\n\nTake care.

the key to instant messaging is that both people need to have the same platform. so both of you have to have Yahoo instant messenger, or you can't message each other.\n\nit's free, (and it's also the best platform) so tell them to get it!

You're already signed up for instant messaging. You just have to download Yahoo! Messenger at:\n\nhttp://messenger.yahoo.com/

Do you have any contacts. If not, then you cannot IM with anyone. Also, the other person you are trying to IM needs to give you permission to see them online.
