MemberQuote:error-you do not have access to make required system configuration modificationThis means the account that you are using a Limited Account.
Click the Start Button > Control Panel > User Accounts
Then select your account, select Change my account type.
From there you only have two options.1. Leave it as a limited account
2. Change it to Computer AdministratorAfter you have it set as Computer Administrator you will need to reinstall Yahoo Messenger.
