I can't get into mine either. Messenger seems to be having a few problems of late but apparently they're fixing it. Must be gremlins in the system again.

you have to be logged on as administrate on your PC. and it can be several problems or issues. You need to look in Help for Yahoo Messenger and search for whatever error message you are getting to find out why.

This error seems to occur only if there are problems on the MSN Messenger servers. Do not try to fix anything on your computer and see if the problem is solved in a day or so.\n\nTry contacting MSN spt at\nhttp://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=messenger&page=support_home_options_form_byemail&ct=eformts

I had the exact same problem and the problem was something really stupid. Have a look at the date and time set on the computer. Mine was set to update automatically from a web server. The server went wrong and my computer thought it was 1863 or something like that. MSN messenger stopped working as well as a few other programs. Internet worked fine till I did a microsoft update which told me the date was wrong. Something that small can be such a pain. If that's not it, try using web messenger or windows messenger. If they work then it's MSN messenger that's faulty. Re-installing it usually works but if not, contact microsoft. their team is usually helpful. USUALLY

Here are some suggestions you might want to check/try: \n1.  The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that \nthe time and date are set. \n2.  If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the \ncorrect case (uppercase or lowercase). \n3.  Change your password @ http://memberservicesnet.passport.com/memberservice.srf, then try \nsigning in again. \n4.  If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible \nthat Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you \nupgraded.  You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall \nif this is the case. \n5.  If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try \nrestarting it and see if that helps the situation.  You also might try uninstalling an \ninstalled firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled). \n6.  Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then \nInternet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the \nDelete Cookies button. \n7.  Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then \nInternet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check \nfor server certificate revocation" is unchecked.  Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL \n3.0' is checked, then click OK. \n8.  Click Start, then Run, and enter the following: \nregsvr32 softpub.dll \nthen click OK \nThen try again\n\nAny computer problem\nanswer by expert join our group \nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/prithvionline

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.
