      If you can't get yahoo working and it's life or death that you need to get on messenger there's this website  Meebo.com that'll allow you to sign on through a website - no downloading of programs required.

          Have you tried to uninstall and than reinstall?

            Any error messages when trying to run Yahoo Messenger?

            Can you try any earlier versions?

                Try this.

                Go to Add and Remove Programs in the Control Panel and completely Uninstall Yahoo Messenger.

                Then download CCleaner

                When it is installed, run it and make sure the following checkboxes are checked.
                Internet Explorer --> Temporary Files
                Internet Explorer --> Cookies (optional)
                Mozilla Firefox --> Internet Cache
                Mozilla Firefox --> Cookies (optional)
                System --> Temporary Files

                Now head over to the Registry section in CCleaner.
                Click Scan for Issues a few times and then Fix Selected Issues.
                Repeat this one or two times.
                CCleaner will prompt you to back up the registry. I suggest you do.

                Now restart the computer and then install Yahoo Messenger again. (not the Beta)
