It used to work few weeks ago. im running windows xp. when i press ctrl alt del, the yahoo messenger is still in the process tab (not application). i tried restarting the computer, and it wont show up on the start up. I tried to uninstall it thru the add/remove program, wont work. i downloaded the installer again, and tried to install but it just froze.
so.. do i still have any hope? or should i just stop using yahoo messenger? 
haha i'd appreciate all the help. thanks

try to do a system restore to a point before you had messenger installed.

Messenger 9 for Vista users is no longer supported by Yahoo. And a note for XP users with 9, Mess 9 has many unsolved problems and missing features that messenger 8.1 or 8.0 has. Plus now the updated Windows Firewall will not let Messenger download correctly.And is causing 9 users to have problems now.. The only option that might help is going to the control panel and turning off the firewall to download and install then turning it back on.Then click on windows fire wall, Exceptions tab. make sure messenger is checked,if not listed then add it to the list.then click save.
.If the fire wall still causes problems,then revert back to 8.1 or 8.0 these and all versions of messenger can be found here; http://www.freecreed.com/ymsgr-archive.html
You need to remove version 9,or present version, 1st to get another version to work. To remove Messenger version Use Unwise located middle of page of Messenger Folder.Make sure Automatic is checked! then continue to uninstall..Or use control panel ,Vista-program features or XP-add/remove this is the 2nd best way. Your contacts are stored online
Start>my computer>c:drive>program files>yahoo>messenger
When you are working on your computer and installing a new program, the installation suddenly fails. Now you are left with a partly installed program. You try to install the program again, but you are unsuccessful. Or, maybe you have problems trying to remove an old program because the installation files are corrupted.
You may need to use the Windows installer cleanup utility to do it completely if it has already been uninstalled.

#1 problem when trying to install.when you get error that reads "wrong line parameter" FIX: Get the most recent version of the Windows Installer — http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d…displaylang=en
If you still use SP1 or SP2,Consider upgrading to SP3 which will include a lot of other updates which you may need.
