Yahoo Instant Messenger

[Robert]

Not even sure if this is to do with XP but just in case anyone knows .....
If I use Yahoo Instant Messenger and right click on any of the contacts or
right click on the icon in the system tray the program shuts down. It
doesn't happen with MSN or any other messenger. Any ideas please? I use
Norton 2005 antivirus and Zone Labs Pro firewall and have even tried turning
them off but it makes no difference. Thanks for any help

This is not a problem of XP,but a problem of Yahoo Messenger.You have to
reinstall Yahoo Messenger.

Tried that, makes no difference

Did you uninstall it first and delete the folder in Program files?

Tried it and Yahoo don't understand the problem

After uninstalling it, did you download it again or use the same
download you used before?

 

[Robert]
