actually james what you just told me helps a lot!!!! This is actually what happens...
When yahoo opens and goes to sign in, it chooses a login server... it goes thru zone alarm and you accept Now yahoo says ok, we got the ok, so sign in again. The only problem is that yahoo has changed servers and zone alarm doesn't like the fact that something is trying to access the system. You need to really go deep into zone alarm and find a way to click on yahoo to accept any request relating to yahoo log in server. I've heard a few people having problems with zone alarm, and my two suggestions would be firstly, turn off zone alarm and try to log in. If you can, then turn zone alarm back on. Or secondly, make sure that if you have window's XP SP2, that the ports which yahoo needs are open. XP SP2 was designed to keep your system safe, and it also closed down ports that yahoo needs to operate. And Finally, I'd be curious if you have ever been able to log into yahoo, or if you are just trying for the first time. If you have always used yahoo messenger, and just now are having problems, then it's a conflict between a program you are running and yahoo. Some of those programs are (Firewalls, Router's built in firewalls, virus software i.e. nortons, Macafee, zone alarm, window's blind, spybot pro, and adaware". --- In [email protected], james wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well honestly there isn't any other information to > give! > > When I attempt to login I enter my user name and > password and messenger asks for permission via Zone > Alarm which I give.Then it just returns to the login > screen and "not connected" appears at the bottom of > the sign in screen. > > Should I attempt to uninstall and reinstall another > version maybe? > > > > --- Netti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --------------------------------- > James wood, we need a little more information as what > is happening > when you try to log in. > > then we can try to help. > > > --- In [email protected], james wood > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Unable to login - any ideas please? > > > > __________________________________________________ > > Do You Yahoo!? > > Tired of spam?
