I am having a problem with Yahoo! Messenger 7 Beta. I downloaded ok, installed ok, but when I try to click on the Status bar to change my status, it shuts down, and exits completely!! It does the same thing when I try and use an emoticon during a chat conversation. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the Yahoo! Folder in Program Files, and reinstalled, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :confused:

Please take time to look at the known issues regarding the beta messenger in the beta messenger homepage. If your problem is not in the known issue, its better to take the feedback form and send it to yahoo so it can be corrected.
As for your problem, i would like to recommend a clean and fresh install, if in case you havent done it. Dont forget to reboot after unsinstalling and reinstalling yahoo messenger. The beta works fine with me, except for few crashes.
If you have issues with 7.0 , you can still go back to using the 6.0 version which is still the official stable release.
Be sure to use the feedback option from the Beta messenger and report your issue.
I have seen others complain about your issue so your not the only one.

I’m having the same problem as Bender, as I have mentioned in another post, so I reinstalled 6. However, I’m still having the same problem with version 6 now. I can wait for another beta version though.
Are either of you running Windowblinds, by any chance? It caused similar problems with my messenger a while back, you have to add a per application setting and have it ignore Yahoo.
Well Amy,
You ROCK!! That was the problem!! Thank you so much!! I am sure alot of people are having this problem and this was an easier fix than I thought it was going to be!!
Thanks again!!
I need Help!! I was getting an error message when i closed yahoo messenger, so i deleted it and tried to redownload messenger 7.0 but now it say’s im missing a dll file. I think it’s myyahoo.dll. how can i get that file back…anyone? im running windows 98.
hersshey, find out what the exact file name is, and do a search on google for “myyahoo.dll” and you should find the file.
Thank you so much! I have been having this same problem with YIM closing when I click in the program for WEEKS! I never would have suspected Window Blinds as the culprit!!!
I found a problem that when you’re in chat with the new yahoo messenger, You go to view profiles, it’s all messed up, It wont allow you to view profiles = I hope that this gets fixed soon!

But when they type something, leave or join the room and I want to view their profile, I cant.. It tries to view their profile with their (nickname) supplied in it. It doesnt view the profile like it does when you view it from your buddy list or the user list in chat.
Cuddles, Ah ok yes I see what you are talking about now. It adds the nickname to the search. I will send a feedback note to Yahoo as should you (if you haven’t already). The only thing I can suggest is erase the added nickname from the search query in the address bar.
You know also, I just now noticed that once someone leaves you offline messages and you accidently close the box, You cant get the rest of them back 🙁 Did they disable the offline message box deal?
