How can I fix my yahoo messenger if I can't see what people write or what I write?

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

I can't get into mine either. Messenger seems to be having a few problems of late but apparently they're fixing it. Must be gremlins in the system again.

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.

Reinstall Yahoo Messenger...it only takes a couple seconds.  If you don't have the .exe file, download it from the main Yahoo page.

If you are using messenger programs, maybe one of your contacts have logged in. You cannot see other IDs that are not in your contacts. You can only see your friends when they are online of offline.\n\nYahoo! and other mail programs are always strict on other people's IDs and privacy. They WILL NEVER show you a time where people would log in or out.\n\nYour issue is on messenger. You contacts are logging in and out.

It could be a temporary network issue on your side or even at Yahoo.  If the problem persists, re-install Yahoo messenger, or check your internet connection.

This problem is strange. I would suggest, try reinstalling Yahoo Messenger. Try the latest version.\n\nI hope your PC is not acting weird otherwise. I would like to help you out more. Do IM me in case reinstalling does not solve your problem.\n\n\nCheers,\nManish

you can try uninstalling and reinstalling yahoo messenger. And again adding the names this will most probably solve the problem.

Typically the person who you are sending messages have blocked all incoming messages so that could be a reason.\n\nSometimes I can see people's messages but they cannot see mine in the chat room. Its called "Lost Cookie Syndrome". All you have to do is logout of Yahoo, re-login and enter the room.\n\nIf the same is happening in the Instant message, then you will have to re-install the messenger.\n\nThe last and final culprit is the Firewall. Do check your firewall administrator if you are in office. If you are using from your PC, then check the Firewall settings of XP.\n\n.:Fishie:.

Well, you might have the font color white on a white background, or black on a black background. \n\nClick on "Messenger" in the menu, go to "Preferences" and then click "Appearance" in the categories. You can change the "default font and colors". You might also click "Always use my font and colors" so you will be able to read it easily.\n\nIf all else fails, download new file and reinstall.
