Everytime I enter my yahoo messenger i log on and i enter my valid password and user name…as soon as i get a message a message block appears saying that Yahoo Messenger had performed an Illegal operation and needs to close. It has nothing to do with my browser or yahoo user name and password. What does this mean? How can I fix it?

clicking the Close / Exit button in an active IM session window will immediately cause Yahoo! Messenger to crash and display “Yahoo! Messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close….”
If you encounter any problems that cause Yahoo! Messenger to crash unexpectedly or that you can reproduce, quickly run through your installed programs to see if they alter the default look and feel of Yahoo! Messenger in any way.
If Yahoo! Messenger is crashing when you load it, make sure you have Macromedia Flash Player installed, this MUST be installed via Internet Explorer.
