Go to the Yahoo! Help pages. From there, go to "Messenger" help. Once there put in a question of what your problem is into the "question" box. Click go. A page of possible answers will come up. Look for one close to your problem. If nothing comes close, there is a link to e-mail customer care. I have done this. My problem was Messenger was crashing while using Launchcast radio. I asked my question like this: "Why does Yahoo! Messenger crash when I am using Launchcast radio?". I got an answer to un-install and then re-install Windows Media Player. Which I did do. It did not fix the problem so I e-mailed customer care and we are now e-mailing back and forth trying to fix the problem. Good luck with whatever your problem is.

I had a problem almost similar to that one time, and i deleted yahoo messenger and all its files from my computer. Then i downloaded it again, and it worked. Not sure if this will help but its worth a try.

simple straight answer, would be,\n\nto just uninstall the yahoo and then install the latest version, in case you were not doing that.\n\nthis would be true for any software on a computer if its not loading properly.

1st. It is not the yahoo which crashes your computer.\n2nd. Re-install your OS. They try to run yahoo. Or use a third party uninstaller to delete all yahoo keys and folders. and again reinstall yahoo, but don't use the online installation, use the offline one.

Reinstall Yahoo Messenger...it only takes a couple seconds.  If you don't have the .exe file, download it from the main Yahoo page.

I never had problems today. \n\nWhy dont you try installing it again? Do a complete remove and then reinstall it. There might be a spyware or a software that got installed that might have corrupted one of your yahoo messenger files.

The new chat is really broken. IF you have version 7.5 Beta, uninstall it and get the 7.0 version here:\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

I had this problem too. Try deleting the current version of Yahoo that you have. DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS. Re-download Yahoo. Turn the antivirus back on and scan the program you downloaded. Then run the program again. It 'should' work.

You will need to be more specific with your question. Generally speaking, you may want to reinstall Yahoo Messenger and see if the error is corrected.
