Hello and welcome to BBB! Make sure you have the latest version of both Java and Flash installed.

Let me know if that helps at all.

You might have to do a clean install incase there are some malware or bad files in the Yahoo Messenger folder directory. I had a problem with Yahoo Messenger continuously popping up in the foreground and I heard a click sound and the ad in the bottom was updating. I go into my Yahoo folder and also under my profile and I saw odd files that shouldn’t be there (probably adware). I did a clean install and it no longer has this problem or odd behavior. But make sure to backup your convo files first before a complete removal. To do a complete removal, first remove Yahoo in add/remove programs and then delete the folder manually.

Speaking of adware, what do the files that end with – and — do? They are under the Yahoo!/Messenger directory. Also, I notice a file with the extension pem, but it says it is a plugin file in the file name.

.pem – audio module (I also found it with Privacy Enhanced Mail Certificate as the description on another site)

.and – Animation file extension (AniData)

This File Extensions List is quite nice ad easy to use.

As for the original problem Priyaa is experiencing – I think we should wait for Vem0m or Dermot to weigh in with a possible solution They are the gurus on Yahoo Messenger and it’s inner workings. A complete reinstall may be a little premature.
