I was just curious if anyone has managed to solve this problem yet? When I installed Microsoft Script Files it fixed windows update and made the updates and descriptons come up okay, but yahoo messenger is still dead.
If it has any significance, My windows updates window is doing the same thing. When I get a popup that says “hey you need to download crap” I’m like “okay” so i click it and both boxes are completly blank. So I’ve had to set it to download them automatically… which is kind of scary because some windows updates just make windows worse. But yeah, My Yahoo, My Windows Updates… what is the relation lol.
Yeah I’ve tried to uninstall and downgrade too… nothing. I’ve pretty much tried everything except reformat my harddrive… which… I don’t really want to do…
I currently have the same problem. Have you found a solution yet? If so, could you please share it, this is driving me crazy.

I believe a solution that has worked in resloving it has been to re-install your 5.6 script files from microsoft, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en ,that’s the download page for XP.
I installed them, and My Yahoo is still not working correctly. My Message Archives don’t work either. I’ll search the archives and see what I can find…

I do understand what you are saying that you type in the type area but when you send the message to be viewed in the message window it remain blank. you see at the bottom of the message box when the party your talking to is replying and when they stop and when they send the message box still remains blank. how am I doing? Okquestion 1. the party your talking to are they getting the same results as you are? I am guessing not. If this is the case it sounds as if the problem is narrowed down with your download of messenger.
question 2. did you follow these instructions just like they are here?
Make sure to exit Messenger completely. If you don’t, the uninstall will fail.
Click the Start button.
Select Settings and then Control Panel.
Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Select Yahoo! Messenger and click the Remove button.
Click the Next button and then the Finished button.
The next step is to install:
Close all running programs except for your Internet browser.Please download the installation file to your desktop.
Download the file to your Desktop and then double-click the ymsgrins.exe file to begin the installation. This should solve the issue.
If you did let me ask you did a security update box pop-up asking you to update? if so you should have updated. If the box never popped up then go to the bottom of the yahoo messenger download page and find where it says security update and making sure your messenger is completely off (not even running in your taskbar. run the update.)
One thing most mess up with is making sure noting is running except your browser when loading downloading or upgrading. a good rule is to only run programs that has to run while adding something new to your system.
If this does not work I will take time to look into your problem further. Please let me know how it turns out for you.. and welcome to the Big Blue Ball
Question 1: No, their messenger is working fine.
Question 2: I’ve done those steps exactly as they are written.
Yes about the update…Thank you for trying. It is such a crazy problem
