    I am having a problem with my Yahoo Messenger..
    I can't log-in into my account for 3 weeks now..
    I dont know what had happened and I believed that its yahoo's problem
    What am I going to do with this..?
    I believe that my YM's password is safely kept cos nobody else uses my computer...

    Any Advice please..

    Yeh, could you pls tell what error you are getting?. What does it show when you enter username and password?. Does it show any error or keeps showing "singing in" for long time and ends up with nothing?

    I don't think it is a Yahoo problem because I can login into my Yahoo Mesengger without any problem till now.

    What version do you use? Have you try reinstall it?

    From the looks of it, it appears that the yahoo messenger program at your end has got corrupt. It would be wise to follow dynashox's suggestion to completely uninstall the present program and then re-install the latest version! :)

    Try getting in touch with your ISP, you might've accidentally blocked off a port that Yahoo uses :/

    I dun find it to be a problem with your messenger ..Did you try logging in using other ids. Try reinstalling the yahoo messenger after removing the old version from add/rrmove program option in control panel.

    For check up just try logging through another computer, may be through your friends,relative computer.

    If you are able to log through another computer in YM then there might be problem with your YM Port.
    Your ISP may have blocked the port accidently.

    Sharing exact error message helps in most of the cases, however here are few things I would recommend
    a. Try to login to yahoo mail - since username / password is same - if it works on mail, it should work on msngr.
    b. If it works on mail, but fails on YM, uninstall YM and reinstall latest version.
    c. If reinstall doesn't help - something like port / or connection setting (check IE settings) could be a problem.
    d. Use same uname / pword combo on any other box - preferably in same location as the machine you would typically use
    e. Share your updates on the forum

    Try the Yahoo! web messenger. If its working for you. here are the possibilities :

    1. Messenger application blocked by your firewall - You would have to enable access to your messenger. You may do this by clicking on your firewall

    2. Download or reinstall the Messenger. (Don't try the BETA version, it might have some bugs.)

    If the web messenger ain't working as well. You would need to reset your password.
