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.

I am assuming that when you say you have unistalled this program that you did it through Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>Remove and that you waited for the message "Yahoo Messenger has been removed from your computer".\nIf you have done this, there could be files let over that are are preventing your re-install.\nFrom Start menu, click on Search and type 'yahoo messenger' and delete any files that look as though they belong in this category ie they mention Yahoo Messenger in the file name.Try re-insalling Yahoo Messenger.\nIf you get a program like CC Cleaner (Crap Cleaner) it will do all the housework for you!\nDon't let the technology win!!\nGood luck.

The "canned" messages that are there are standard and cannot be changed or deleted.  In addition, the custom ones you create also cannot be deleted ... here's the paragraph from Yahoo that validates that:\n\nStatus Icons/Messages Please Note: If you enter your own "custom status" messages, Messenger will save the last five messages you've entered. Currently, there is no way to delete these status messages.

Uninstall beta and just use regualar messenger, hopefully you will be able to remove it without too much problem. Beta products are often more trouble that they're worth!

Unless they have changed it in the latest version, the removal procedure is:\nStart -> Control Panel\nAdd or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components\nUncheck MSN Explorer, Outlook Express and Windows Messenger.\nClick Next\nClick Finish\n\nKeep in mind that if you use Outlook Express for your email, you may not be able to remove Windows Messenger. If this is the case, then you will want to remove it from the start up, so that it no longer starts when your computer starts. \n\nWhen the program is open, it will either be on the screen or down in the right hand corner as an icon in the system tray. Double click to get it open on the screen, then find the settings window. It should be under Preferences, Tools, Option, Settings or System, I don't remember which. Then find the tab with the start up options and uncheck the box to start when Windows starts.\n\nIf that doesn't work, then go \nStart -> Startup -> Windows Messenger\nRight click on Windows Messenger, and then click delete. Click "Delete Shortcut" and it will remove the program from the startup folder.\n\nIf all these fail, then more radical action is required. Let me know and I will try to help via email.\n\nGood luck!

you need your own computer.  if you have this already, then setup password protect on your account.  then lock your computer when you're not using it.  your messenger conversations are saved on your computer, you can delete the history of the conversation, not through internet options though.
