Jan,
As I said I don't use Yahoo's messenger, I use Trillian. So I can't
answer your questions regarding Yahoo's messenger. I was trying to
offer an alternative.

I use Express because my seniors look forward to receiving email with
graphics, animation & music. This seems to encourage their desire to
learn & participate. So I am an Outlook Express person forever.
Hal, why would Yahoo Messenger work for many months with Express & now
refuse? I can't imagine there being a compatibility issue here.
It would be nice if there was some way to contact tech support for Yahoo
Messenger, but as far as I know there is no way to reach a real person.

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.

The window panel with the list of names pops up immediately. 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.
Thanks for your efforts,
Jan

When you say its not working... are you getting errors? or is the Yahoo
Messenger window/panel just not popping up? What exactly isn't working?

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.
Thanks,
Jan

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.
Jan
