i think i understand what the problem is. it might be the "AIM today" that pops up whenever you log in. to get rid of it you must go to your preferences. after that, click on the category: sign on/off. then make sure you uncheck the box next to "Show AIM Today window at sign on". hope this helps!

The reason it is coming back to the sign in screen is because it cannot connect to yahoo .. there are a number of reasons possible for this..\n\n1)Is the computer in question running sbc yahoo!  and/or norton antivirus by any chance?   If so, Norton antivirus 2003 doesnt like messenger - open Norton antivirus (should be in the system tray somewhere), click on options and uncheck the messenger options that you want to allow on your pc.\n\n2) Are you sure you have your userid and password correct for yahoo! mail?  Check this by logging into some other yahoo! site - e.g. go to my.yahoo.com and type in your userid and password, and if this works you know you have the correct userid and password.\n\n3) Is the pc set up to automatically sign into Yahoo! as someone else?  If so, when you try to sign in using your password it may fail.  The best way to do this is to click on the "sign out" link or "sign in as another user" link (depending upon which yahoo mail screen you are seeing).  Then sign in using the sign in link that comes up (or simply type in the userid and password at this point).\n\n4) There are a number of other possibilities causing this issue - but you appear to be able to surf to other web pages so I think I can discount those.  If you are still having problems go to www.exceptiona.com and contact the consultants there, they will help you.

I have mine set to sign in once daily.  I have no problems.  I save my settings.

Did you just get this computer?  In some cases this is possible if msn messenger is logging on to the network automatically.  If this is the case just uninstall that version of msn messenger.

Try it again. I had the same problem. Once I redid it, it showed up on my desktop. From there, you can sign in. If it doesn't work, just try again. Also, try at a time when everything is not at it's busiest ie during daytime.

1) It may be due to Internet Connectivity Problem(slow).\n2) It may be due to corrupt of some of the files of   messenger software.\n3) May be ur system attacked with virus \n4) Low system configuratioon also a problem\n5) If someone login into your a/c also at the same time u logged. Better change your password regulary\nThanQ & Good Luck

yahoo wil lonly allow you to remain logged in for a short amount of time normally 8-12 hours.  It actually sounds like a browser problem though.

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

There could be many things causing this problem. Make sure your regional settings are right. If all the settings are right then uninstall your messenger and install it again. Spyware and adware could also be blocking you log ons. If spyware or adware is present, then format the computer and try re-installing the messenger. A slow internet connection may also be causing this problem. You might also want to try a new account and see if that works.

close yahoo messenger and exit from the task bar also and try signing in again. \nIf that does not work, then try going to "connection preferences" in the messenger menu and select 'no network detection'.\nIf that doesnt work either, then u will have to uninstall yahoo and install it again.

I have never heard of that happening before nor do I recall ever hearing that from Microsoft. It sounds to me like someone is trying to scam you. I use both Yahoo and Messenger at the same time and I don't get forced off of one or the other.

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