Yahoo Messenger Uninstall
« on: September 02, 2008, 02:03:02 AM »
About two weeks ago I downloaded the newest Yahoo Messenger 9 beta version.  During the installation process, it froze and I had to close the program.  Later, my computer slowed to a standstill and I opened the Task Manager and looked at the processes.  Yahoo Messenger was on there and using between 97 and 100% of the CPU.  I clicked End Process on Yahoo Messenger and the computer returned to normal operation.
I then tried to uninstall Yahoo Messenger on the Add/Remove programs in the control panel.  When I clicked on it, an error message appeared saying,"Could not open INSTALL.LOG file."  So I then went into the Yahoo Messenger program file and could not find any folder that said uninstall or install.  All I found was a folder that said "UNWISE," and when I clicked on it the exact same error message reappeared.
I want to uninstall this program desperately because every time I start my computer now I have to end that process.  Please help. 
I have a Dell that runs Windows XP.

I would reinstall Yahoo 9 Beta again. This way it will install all the uninstall files and you will be able to remove the messenger from your computer properly and safely.
