i have tried repeatedly to download yahoo messenger to my computer…i have followed some of the tips in the forum posts including uninstalling and reinstalling…i have no idea what the problem is…any ideas??
Welcome to BigBlueBall.
Your post confuses me. You say that you cannot download Yahoo Messenger, but you have tried reinstalling it? If you are able to install it, then surely you must be able to download it first?
Could you please clarify what you mean. Thanks 🙂
well…what i meant was…i had yahoo mess on my comp…inadvertantly…i deleted it….i tried to reinstall it and it wouldnt work…kept telling me that i have no admin privelages and would not load up….finally i had to install mess 5.6…that seemed to work….i thot i had a bug of some type or that yahoo was messing with me…..it seems that the new 7.0 will not load if there is any trace of yahoo mess of any other type on your comp….so what i had to do was look for all traces of yahoo messenger or YPager on my computer and delete them…then the install took hold….sorry if my original message was so confusing…i was very confused about the whole issue
yes…i do….but the problem was that the program wasnt loading cuz of the other versions of yahoo mess on the comp…seems the darn thing thought that i was trying to change the program…go figure
but 5.6 is working fine…so far….doesnt have the features i was used to…but am going to use this until i build up the cojones to update
Well I suggest that you sweep your registry of invalid entries due to uninstallation/deletion of the application in your PC. There are good registry cleaner out there.
Also, delete all files and folders related to Yahoo!, particularly the Yahoo! folder on the Program Files, just make sure to have your archive backed-up before deleting the folder, before installing a new copy.i have tried to run a registry cleaner on my comp…for some reason my computer does not recognize me as an administator when it comes to yahoo messenger…i am running a 1.6 processor intel pentium processor on an equus computer……i have checked my user and i am logged on as an adminitrator…i was running 7.0 just fine until i deleted it…….my memory is fine…..i dont have this problem with any other program except yahoo 7.0……..i also tried to install all the 6 series and i am still having the same so called administrator problem………i am currently running 5.6 but i want the features of the 6 and 7 series…..am i going insane or what………….i i usually delete all my messenger files before i try to install any of the new ones…..i have all the install files saved to my desktop to avoid contamination……..i look like a yahoo messenger collector……..can anybody help?/??
