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.

Well, here are some tips from me-\n1- Please, categorise your question well, if you would have placed it in the "Yahoo! Messenger" category, your problem would have been solved by now!\n\n2- If any of the dll files is missing, you can get it on the net. I think there is an online dll library, try there.\nhttp://www.dll-files.com/\n\n3- OR, Try "System Restore" to an earlier point. It can solve the problem.\n\n4- Try Yahoo! Messenger help, which is a step-by-step guide & lets you pin-point your problem\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/tech/\n\n5- Search Yahoo! Answers to see more similar problems & their solutions, some might work for you too!\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=An88.mm2z5SYnEatz2JCa.Dzy6IX?p=dll+Yahoo%21+Messenger

I've had the same problem with messenger in the past. It probably isn't anything you are doing wrong. More than likely all of yahoo messenger is messed up. Try contacting yahoo...there should be a troubleshooting site. I usually just either notify them or give up.

Find out since wen r u having this problem. If it not since too long back then try system restore in win xp. If u had this problem since the time u installed it then download yahoo again and then install it again. If the problem persists contact yahoo.

Go to your control panel. Then your add/remove icon.. Click on the messenger like your going to uninstall it.. BUT,put  a check mark  on the REPAIR command.. See if that works.. if not, uninstall it and reinstall it again !
