I am having the same problem. Seems yahoo did something to their system and have not resolved the problem as of yet. They just keep sending me garbage to make me feel better. It has been 4 weeks now since I have been able to get into chat or get my web cam to work and they are too stupid to figure out what is wrong. Have you tried contacting them? Go into the help pages and you can contact them through customer care. Good luck and if you get yours solved first, tell me how you did it.

What is the error message you are facing?  Please be more specific about your issue.  Are you not able to connect?  Ensure that you don't have a firewall like ZoneAlarm that is blocking Yahoo Messenger.  You can also select to connect without any proxies or Firewaal.  Go to Messenger > Preferences > Connection > Select the No proxies option.  I hope that helps.

The possible reasons are :\n1) Either you have signed in to a Mobile Device\n2) or someone else has already signed in to your id\n\n\nKeep trying to log on to your id and Inform this case to Yahoo! customer Care

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.

try the same version with different set of username and password; if it works then the username and password was not correct. If it doesnt work try with a different computer connected to the same Networking Device(router or switch or modem). If it also fails check the port used by yahooo messenger.

Hi.  I'de like to run through a few possibilities.\n\n1.) Check to see if your actually online\n2.) Check to see if your Windows Firewall or Third-Party Firewall software is blocking Yahoo Web Messenger\n3.) Re-install Yahoo Messenger, Restart Computer

Let me try to understand. First you sign-in and then you sign out. The another person enters his login-id and tries to signin but it fails. You have close Yahoo Messenger and then restart to signin?\n\nThats very strange!! Because if you enter the password and user-id clearly it doesnt matter how many people sign-in one after another.\n\nMaybe you should uninstall YM and re-install it. It could be some installation issue...\n\n.:Fishie:.

The username MUST be lowercase when you try to log in. Try that.  Also,  on the very bottom of http://messenger.yahoo.com/ click, Launch Web Messanger. If that works, that it sounds like a router issue, etc

you have to be logged on as administrate on your PC. and it can be several problems or issues. You need to look in Help for Yahoo Messenger and search for whatever error message you are getting to find out why.

Do you have a firewall running? There is a good possibility your yahoo messenger program is being blocked, but your browser is not.

Are you able to get the sign in window to open, then type in your ID and password but when you click "Sign In" nothing happens?\nIf that's the case, do you have a firewall or are you using Windows XP with it's own firewall? If so, open Messenger, close the sign in screen and click "Messenger" at top left of the main Messenger window. Click "Connection Preferences" then choose "Firewall with no proxies". Also make sure your type of connection and your location are correct, click "Apply" then "OK". You should be able to sign in after that.

un-install your yahoo messenger and again re-install it & then try changing your yahoo password . i think it'll work .

Yahoo so sucks sometimes.  I can't help on the "why", but what works for me when this happens is to do one of 2 things.\n\n1.  Completely exit out of Messenger, then sign back in.  If that     doesn't work, then I\n\n2.  Reboot my pc.
