Have you considered using a different client to access Yahoo's messenger service? Personally I use trillian http://ceruleanstudios.com, you can use to connect to IRC, Yahoo, MS Messenger AIM and ICQ at the same time.

I can even see who is online but when I click on the name of the person that is on line nothing happens. Usually a message box appears allowing for a message to be typed. But this no longer happens. There is no response...I can neither reply or initiate any correspondence...no error messages appear. So in other words, nothing happens after the window with the list of names pops up. Please keep working on this issue as I use this messenger to keep tabs on several seniors.

What exactly isn't working? ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Robey To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 2:42 PM Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Re: Brain Dead Yahoo Messenger I am using Windows 98 second edition, I have no firewall, and I don't know what a router is. It has been working for eons, but two weeks or so ago it just stopped doing anything. I haven't put anything new in this computer either. It was working fine for a very long time & then suddenly without warning it stopped. Sorry I can't give you more to work on...but please keep trying.

When was the last time it did work .. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Robey To: PCTechTalk Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 10:25 Cosmic Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Brain Dead Yahoo Messenger OK...everyone, this is another call for help. My Yahoo Messenger has decided to go brain dead & I am at my wits end. My list appears, & it even indicates who is on & off line. But that is it. I can hear the little trill noise that it makes when someone is trying to contact me but there is no indication who it is. I can't receive any messages nor can I send them. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the latest version at least 3 times & still no improvement. I have gone through the Yahoo site & I can't find any means to ask for help. Yes they have FAQ page...tried everything that even remotely could help...unless I'm missing something, there is nothing there that offers support beyond their FAQ. If you can get me through this I would be ever so grateful.
