ive been getting the same problem. on top of my computer freezing up when i go to read my email. this started last saturday before this last weekend. this past weekend it happened again and when i went to go reboot, the computer went into safe mode, and everytime i rebooted the computer, it kept going to the same safe mode menu. i called my personal computer repairman and said it was a major virus. dont know if this is related to the chat problem or not. but seeing it both involves yahoo, im thinking maybe yahoo's network may have a virus. how knows, its yahoo, so i wouldnt be surprised.

That's what is happening to me. There is also a pop up message that will tell you that you've been signed out of YM if "you" or someone using your ID and PW sign into YM on another computer. I just want to make sure that you are having the Chat Room problems. I haven't really used my Vista computer with YM 9.0x much lately so I can't really say whether it's a 9.0x problem or just a YM Chat Room problem in general. Since the Chat Rooms are really a separate monster from YM, I don't think Chat Room problems are really related to YM as much... unless the problems happen with IM'ing someone from a Chat Room or something like that. We do use YM to get into a Chat Room and use YM to IM people once in a Chat Room but once you open a Chat Room window, it's pretty much a separate piece of software that is running the Chat Rooms and the Chat Rooms are more tied to the browser than the YM software. As far as YM causing your computer to freeze up... how long is it freezing up for? A few seconds or do you have to reboot the computer? Is it freezing up with Chat Room usage or when just using YM? Have you opened Task Manager and set the view to the Processes Tab and then sort the CPU column to see which process or processes are jumping way up in CPU usage when the freeze up is happening?

I am currently running Y!M 9.0.0.2162. Also, I found a bit of a work around for that problem I had earlier, where when running Y!M it would cause the pc (Vista Home Premium) to freeze. I have found if I keep a window with IE 8 open and running, this helps. I don't have a clue as to why it would tho. Just another one of those freaky things with Yahell and Microsoft!

I didn't see any other postings about this so I thought it was just my YM acting up but then I checked with a few other Chat Room users and they were also having the problem. Has everyone been having these problems getting into Chat Rooms? I hope that between the problems with getting the CAPTCHA IE8 windows to even load a couple of days ago and now this issue with getting into Chat Rooms... that it's only Yahoo!, Inc. upgrading the servers or trying some new security protocols to try and stop the continued flood of spam-bots in the Chat Rooms. Let me know how things have been for the rest of the group.
