do you have JVM installed.......I had this problem with Yahoo games and had to install a Java Virtual Machine dn/l.....after that, everything was fine.......if this is not the case, might want to check settings or re download and reinstall....hope this helps

and btw, not working it might be trying to tell you something....eh?.......lol

JVM = Java Virtual Machine.........you can download it here.....

Double check your user name and logon to make sure they are correct. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling then reinstalling the application.

Installing the JVM isn't going to help, as the installable Yahoo! Messenger application is not a java app and doesn't require java to run.

*the one that doesn't install on your machine (it is temporary) and that can be accessed via a link from the My.Yahoo homepage is a java applet...but I doubt that is what you're talking about.

I replied because that's what fixed my yahoo, but my problem was playing games.........what I posted was just a suggestion........hoping it would help steppenwolf.......

come to think of it, I think this is what I posted to start with.....

"if this is not the case, might want to check settings or re download and reinstall"

i deleted it and put yahoo back on and it wont work,, it works on my other computer

maybe i should have rebooted before i put it back on?

I don't know if that works always, but for me, after removing a piece of software, I find it's best to restart before reinstalling....sometimes even if not reinstalling........:D
