Remember to use a registry cleaner after uninstalling to remove old traces of your old YM. I use WinASO Registry Optimizer. It's free for the trial version. The downside of the trial version is that it only cleans 10 items per run but you can run it back to back until you have cleaned out your registry. I run it weekly on my computer. There are other free registry cleaners that others may recommend.
Then download a FULL ysmsgr.exe (around 10MB) instead of the small installer application (440KB) that then downloads the rest. There's more problems associated with the small installer application. You can get the FULL download at http://www.filehippo.com/download_yahoo_messenger/ and at other reputable sites. I personally still use the latest version of 7.5 since I have been seeing too many issues with people who upgraded to 8.0+ Lenny Vasbinder 504-621-1870 FREE and automatic online remote backup of your documents, photos and files... https://mozy.com/?ref=SY4ZSI Check out how simple and secure it can be to use the Mozy remote backup system.

I did finally get in when I used Lenny's suggestion about getting into a room with a few people in it first. I was then able to get into the room I wanted. I have used Y-Tunnel in the past when I chat, but I haven't been able to get it to work. It opens up, but as soon as Messenger opens, it shuts it down. That was the only thing that kept the bots away, so it is almost impossible to chat now.
