Hi, What’s the operating system are you using? Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 or others? According to the link provided by Mike, the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger is Yahoo! Messenger 10, please try to download the latest version to check whether it works. By the way, if the issue continues, it is recommend that you contact Yahoo for the further research. Thanks for your understanding. Best Regards, Vincent Hu
