You can download the full size current and/or older versions from http://www.filehippo.com/download_yahoo_messenger/ Just remember to do a full uninstall and clean out your Yahoo Messenger Program folder and clean the registry. I have these steps outlined in a previous post at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Yahoo_Messenger/message/5220
I'm personally still using version 7.5.0.819 which works fine and I think it's the last "safe" version 7 that was released by Yahoo. Bear in mind that Lisa's issue was resolved by a firewall issue so it was nothing to do with YM.

I really prefer the older version of messenger it worked better and faster than 8.0 or whatever it is. If you figure out how to get old versions back will you tell me how please?..

I tried everything you said word for word. I cleaned, I rebooted, I downloaded and rebooted. I don't get the error messages anymore upon install, no I click on the messenger icon, put in my user name and password, the icon guy jumps up and down while yellow, then changes to gray. Nothing, no other boxes come up nothing, not even a error message saying "wrong password, or wrong username" (which I know it is right, I log in everyday to yahoo.) Nothing. THank you for sending me the quick messenger, and that is could, yet I need the messenger mainly for conferencing and chatting with more than one person at a time. If you can add anymore insight I would appreciate it.

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 <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 <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.
