Do you have a firewall turned on? third party firewall like zone alarm or sygate or norton? if so then check ypager.exe in the firewall program control(depending on which firewall you have-if any) and see what access it has to the internet.
If you have windows XP firewall turned on then make sure yahoo messenger has access to the internet.Also look in yahoo preferences /connection and set it to no proxies if its not set.
You may need to open ports on your router to allow incoming traffic on port 5050 while using Yahoo Messenger-(this is only if you have a router and you can control the traffic on ports.)If you cant configure the contact your network administrator.
None of the above may work,but from reading your second reply it sounds to me that you are not receiving all the packets sent from yahoo servers or that a firewall is effecting this traffic.Also if you are IM’ing people from long distances and you have slowish connection you could be lagging.
1.open c:Program FilesYahoo!MessengerMediaSmileys
2.find the smiley u want to change(set view to thumbnails)
3.Note the file name…it will be a number
4.Then Rename it to anything u like(just for a back up!!)
5.Then Rename the .gif file that you want to use as the filename in stepcopy and paste your new GIF to c:Program FilesYahoo!MessengerMediaSmileys
It depends on whether that person has P2P(peer to peer)blocked,in the past I could grab IP’s of people on my friends list using a packet sniffer-monitor,or using netstat but that was a long time ago and yahoo have seriously updated user security so its a lot harder these days to grab IP’s.You could try netstat in command prompt(you need to be in pm with that person-responding to them for netstat to work),type netstat -n(including space)and hit enter on your keyboard but chances are you won’t get very far.If you can get the person to accept file transfers(send file)or cam invites you can get an IP that way as well,but the chances of them actually accepting either are miniscule.
I know this probably isnt what you want to hear but you could always just ignore them if they are persistantly bashing you.
good luck.
Yes I misunderstood you,sorry.If you do upgrade again,and the error message occurs,there should be an error code,if you dont see one on microsoft crash report,then you can go into your event logger,control panel/administrator/event viewer/system,look in there around the time that the ypager stopped/stops responding.
As you said in your earlier post,it could be a memory issue.How much RAM have you got?Did you install any new software around the time the problem started.Are there any programs running in task manager that shouldnt be running,(ie-spyware).Basically you should look for anything that might be draining resources.I doubt very much it has anything to do with your Yahoo sessions(ie-logging out and changing names)
For the moment as you said you can run an earlier version with no problems,the newer version has more features,so obviously it requires more memory.
Basically without error codes or messages or any info from your system log,theres not much anyone can do.Ypager not responding could be due to anything,it could be a bad installation either.
If its manual then yahoo cant force you to update-only you can decide if you want to upgrade to a newer build,but on most pc’s that have auto update(IE upgrade to a newer build or install security updates)then it can be disabled,thats why I posted what I posted.You can still run the older version(I personally run 5.6.0.1344 because it seems to be very stable build)
As for the ypager error on boot up,have you checked in task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) to make sure the program has closed down properly after each session?if not then end task.
And when this ypager not repsonding error happens is there an error code?
thanks
you can disable the auto update funtion on yahoo messenger,but be warned-once you do this you will no longer be notified of any updates from yahoo.So do this at your own risk!!
either:
Go into the folder c:program filesyahoo!messenger and rename the file ‘yupdater.exe’ to something else, such as ‘_updater.exe’. Yahoo! will then fail to find the file and no more prompts!
Or:
Disable yupdater.exe any access on your firewall. Depending on the firewall, you can either select “NO” when prompted the first time, or go into its control panel and disable all access!
Just to follow up-I did a search for GLB1325.tmp and I couldnt find any info anywhere about that temp file.All I know is yahoo install temp files to the temp folder on c: drive during installation,so when you get the message “please enter the pathname” error it may mean that the temp file has been moved or deleted or corrupted,it might be part of the yahoo installer(I could be wrong though).If you know how to get to your temp folder on c: then i would have a look in there and see if the tmp file is there or not-if so delete it.The error you receive tells you how to get to the location of the tmp file(if the file is there)
In any case I would try removing the yahoo folder manually, c:/program files/yahoo and then try reinstall messy again.
Btw what version of messenger are you using?
Worse case scenario,do a system restore back to when the program was running ok,then try uninstall it.

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.tmpI 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.
ThanksHello jerseygirl.
Just outta curiousity,have you tried booting in safe mode,and then goto add/remove -uninstall messenger,see if it works that way.
Make sure you dont have the messenger program running when you try to uninstall-because it will fail.I havent had this problem before so I dont know how to resolve it unfortunately,but safe mode might be one possible solution.Or manually removing the yahoo messenger folder either(making sure you back up your archives first-so you wont loose all your pms conversations)
good luck
That could be due to a number of things.It could be a booter,your firewall(provided you have a firewall turned on),it could also be your ISP refreshing your IP(provided you have a dynamic IP(an ip that changes everyday)-once the IP changes it would force a d/c from the yahoo server.If you have auto-login set on yahoo it would automatically log back in and you wouldnt even notice.
Or and probably unlikely yahoo are disconnecting you because you are Idle for long periods.
Just a guess but,
Your winsock2 might be corrupted.Download the WinSock XP Fix at
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html reboot,and see if that helps.
