why doesnt yahoo chat work 90% of the time?

hmmm... tricky question. i wonder if your entire yahoo IM application does not work 90% of the time or some parts of the application works making it (the whole IM) work only 10% of the time or vice-versa...\n\nbe that as it may, and in the absence of specific issues, there are many reasons for yahoo's IM client not to work:\n\n1. local -- your computer's specification may not match the application's requirement. or another application may be using the same resources (a conflict). check your machine.\n\n2. network -- your firewall may be blocking the application or some of its functionalities. check with your administrator or isp.\n\n3. application -- your yahoo IM might not be updated or worse, corrupt. download the latest version. re-install if you have to. \n\n4. authorization -- some IM functions may not work if you don't have administrative rights to the computer you're using. check with your administrator. \n\n5. internet -- your internet traffic might be heavy (or slow) enough to drop your connection to yahoo's servers. check net traffic generated by other applications. also check with your administrator or isp.

If all else fails, try removing it and download messenger again, I had that happen to me once, couldn't get it to work so I did that and it solved my problem..Good Luck

You might be using up too much RAM. I really haven't had problems with my messenger.

I believe chat2.0 is java based, and yahoo took away the java support about a month ago.l

Try the older version of yahoo messenger (7.0) which works better\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nUninstall your current version first.

Check to see what version you have by going to help then about. If it is 7.5 it might not work with your computer (it is a very buggy version) if you do have 7.5 uninstall it and then go to \nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm and get version 7.0

Make sure you don't have Yahoo! Messenger running twice.  If you don't, then reinstall Messenger.  If it still bugs the crap out of you, download a third-party chat client.  \n\nwww.cheetachat.com\nwww.fxscripts.mychat.com

its because of some software conflict, download latest version of yahoo messenger from the webstie and install it again.

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

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

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
