Hello I was just wondering if anyone had come across this error before? I think this is the correct error code for my problem although i am not sure, the problem is everytime i press a certain button on my yahoo screen ie. to open the smiley emotes window or press the button to chage online status even right clicking a users name to view profile causes the problem which is a total crash of the yahoo program. Hope someone can help me with this,thanks w4vy.

Check your proxies settings or

Uninstall Yahoo and reinstall Version 8. All should be fixed

If wipeing your laptop is what you want to do go ahead. I can’t tell you how many times I wiped my laptop becouse laptops suck after a while if you keep downloading programs. Laptops get errors so easy.

But the downside for me to wipe my laptop is it takes me 5 hours to get it back the way I want it.

do you have a firewall or check the settings on your modem or wireless router.
do you have any fileshare program, or other programs that are free off the internet with Ads built in? Some programs off the internet prevent other programs from working right.

As a note you can use the Ignore Per Application setting on WindowBlinds to completely ignore Yahoo!, so that you won’t have to uninstall WindowBlinds and you can have Yahoo! Messenger running flawlessly. 😛

But as you requested, since this is your thread:
