I suggest you use Yahoo Messenger 8.
·manually delete the "Messenger" directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Yahoo! Messenger application.
All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. If you have a Flash drive copy it. If none, copy them like this:
CLOSE Yahoo! Messenger (if it is currently running).
Go to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer."
Select the "C:" drive.
Go to: C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles
Your "Profiles" folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the a different folder on your computer and RENAME IT AND save..
Now you can DELETE the Yahoo Messenger by deleting the directory:
CLOSE the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are CLOSED.
Go to your desktop and double-click "My Computer."
Click the "C:" drive.
Go to C:\Program Files\Yahoo!
Highlight the Yahoo! Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
DEFRAG your computer files to remove those empty spaces resulting from the deletion.
TO INSTALL:
CLOSE all running applications EXCEPT for your Internet browser.
DISABLE YOUR ANTI VIRUS/ANTI SPY PROGRAM/S. Most times they interfere in the downloading/installation process.
Click the link below to download Yahoo Messenger
http://messenger.yahoo.com/webmessengerp…
Click the "Download Now" button.
Double-click the Yahoo Messenger executable once the download completes to begin the installation process.
COPY MESSAGE ARCHIVE
Go to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer."
Select the "C:" drive.
Go to: C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles
Drag/drop the copy of your Message Archive to the NEW Yahoo Messenger folder\Yahoo\Messenger\Profiles.
ENABLE YOUR ANTI VIRUS/ANTI SPY PROGRAM/S
