2 options.\n\n1. configure your firewall to permit yahoo messenger to go online. \n\n2. click on 'connection preferences' on yahoo and then select the option that says 'Firewall with no proxies'. \n\nHope that helps.\n\nFirewall is your problem.

Simply add the Yahoo! Messenger to the exception list on your Firewall to enable it to get Internet Access to Authenticate and Sign On...

If the computer has Messenger installed then there should be an option for signing in as a different user.\n\nIf Messenger is not installed you can use the Java version.  Follow this link.\n\nhttp://jpager.yahoo.com/jpager/messenger.html

Try this link: http://www.agilemessenger.com - it works with Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and AIM messenger services.  I use it all the time and it works great.\n\nAn alternative is going to http://wap.oa.yahoo.com and signing in there, but you have to refresh your browser all the time, which is a pain in the butt. LOL

Have you tried re-installing the new version? Sometimes during a download packets are lost and the program will not run properly even if the install works perfect. I suggest removing your current version of yahoo IM completely then re-download the new version. That should make it work.

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

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