Are you downloading YM from the Yahoo Messenger site? If so, you are starting off with just the small YM program installer (475kb), rather than the full program (10MB). Here's my little article I wrote on "How I always do a clean install of YM" which has one of the sources for the full version of YM (10MB). http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Yahoo_Messenger/message/5220
Let me know if you were using the "installer" version from Yahoo's website. In the meantime, since you are desperate, you can use the website based YM for chatting. You can get to it by going to http://webmessenger.yahoo.com.

No error message nothing. When people invite me to chat, nothing happens. I did recieve this message during the install: "download file has been canceled or interrupted 404 not found" and then: "the file c:documents and settings\Larisa Nageli\local settings\temp\3049551\ytb_inst.exe could not be opened. I clicked ok and there on my desktop sits the yahoo messenger icon. I have reviewed everything in help. I switched to the no proxies and the no network and the firewall with proxies, I have called Qwest to get the proxy server address and port#; they claim that there isn't one. I need to get onto chat desperately with my classmates for my classes that are online. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. No virus found in this outgoing message.
