I am assuming that when you say you have unistalled this program that you did it through Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>Remove and that you waited for the message "Yahoo Messenger has been removed from your computer".\nIf you have done this, there could be files let over that are are preventing your re-install.\nFrom Start menu, click on Search and type 'yahoo messenger' and delete any files that look as though they belong in this category ie they mention Yahoo Messenger in the file name.Try re-insalling Yahoo Messenger.\nIf you get a program like CC Cleaner (Crap Cleaner) it will do all the housework for you!\nDon't let the technology win!!\nGood luck.

go to your control panel and then click on the Add/Remove Programs icon and then click on the Add/Remove Windows Components tab on the left side of the screen and there will be a list of programs. Uncheck the box next to the Windows messenger icon click next and that should take care of it. \nbbug

Try uninstalling, then use Registry Mechanic or anything of the sort to delete all Yahoo! Registry files, and then delete the Yahoo! Messenger (if it still exists)...\n\nThis is to guarantee that there is no settings saved by Yahoo! Available on the PC...\n\nThen try installing it again...\n\nIf it works but doesn't log-in, then check if Yahoo! is permitted to access the internet or not...check that in your Firewall Application...

Not unless you have that remote access installed on your computer...you can log on to messenger from any computer that has messenger (i know you knew that), but every computer you log on to has it's own history folder,.....

Do you really only want to erase your chat conversations, or do you want to erase all of your personal stuff?\n\nIf you're using Win XP, just create a new account, then delete the old account and all associated files. \n\nClick on Start, Control Panel, User Accounts. Now click on "Create a new account."  Be sure to give yourself Administrator rights.\n\nWhen you've done that, then log off and log back on as the new user. Now you can delete the old account

ugh, you dont need to download it again, unless you want to be signed in to two accounts at the same time, then use web messenger. you can use as many accounts on one messenger as needed, but you can only sign in one at a time

Taken directly from the yahoo help website: \n\n"Please make sure you are using the No proxies connection setting. To select this setting: \n\n\nClick the Messenger menu in Messenger and select Preferences. \nClick the Connection category. \nSelect the No proxies option. \nClick the OK button at the bottom of the window. \nClose Messenger completely and start the program again. This should eliminate this error message. \nIf you are unable to connect using the No proxies option please reverse your changes and make sure your firewall is configured correctly. Your firewall must permit outgoing TCP connections on port 5100. Please make the following changes to your firewall: \n\nProtocol: TCP \n\nServer: webcam.yahoo.com \n\nPort: 5100 \n\nMost companies networks are located behind a firewall and some also use a proxy. Most Internet service providers (ISPs) don't have firewalls or proxies, but you should contact your network administrator or ISP for accurate information. \n"\n\nIf you have a router you may have to forward port 5100 to your computer.  Typically your router can be accessed by typing its IP in your browser window.  It could also be your firewall settings, which you may have to change to open port 5100.  If you want further details.  State your router type, and the type of firewall software you use, as well as your OS.

If your system is connected in a network and also if it uses the proxy server, then only one user in the network alone have a rights to enter in a chat room. \n\nTo Riff_REef: since he/she said that he changed the password, there is no way of re-entering the yahoo messenger with old password. And also he said that he can able to chat with other persons in friends list
