Okay I am going to try looking through temp folders. Didnt think of that. I have done the system restore when it first acted up and it worked but now no matter how far back I am going its doing the same thing. I even tried connecting to chat through the yahoo website, and i got an error and it shut down. so must be something on my puter. i am on xp.

Okay now I tried the safe mode but wont work. I just want to remove it and install an older version but I get so far in uninstalling it and it gets stuck. Gets to photosharing and will not continue. I dont know what to do. Does anyone have an older version of yahoo or a link I can use. I tried using the link in here for version 6 but link is no longer available.

I am having the same problem with my yahoo messenger. I am on XP OS. No changes either, that I can remember.
I even tried going into the add/remove programs to repair it and it gets just about done repairing and a box pops up asking for me to:
Enter the full pathname to the installation file with the following attributes: 11/08/05 / 8:10:40 / 71680
source pathname: C:DOCUME~1OwnerLOCALS~1TempGLB1325.tmp

I hit ok and nothing happens. I exit out of it because I have no idea what to do and it closes the entire process down.
I even have done a system restore to prior dates when I know the messenger was working, and this worked a few times, but eventually it happens again. Now it seems that no matter how far I go back to prior dates it not working.
I NEED MY YAHOOOOOOO!
Please help! I cant even remove it from my computer now and I have tried to reinstal it and it still pops on and then pops off.
thought I was the only one with this problem.
Thanks
