    ANY Yahoo! Messenger program will not install properly if a former program, or an incomplete install, has not been completely deleted from the computer first. (Don't worry - your Contacts List will be saved into the fresh installation of an updated Messenger!) Delete all Yahoo Messenger references from the registry. Use the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs method, then double-check by going to Start > Search > files and folders > Yahoo! Messenger (notice the exclamation mark in the title). Write down and delete all references manually if necessary. The uninstaller works well for Vista and Win 7. 

    Download and SAVE the program directly from the File Hippo web site. Install it only AFTER completely cleaning the registry of remnants. Download the most recent version of any Yahoo Instant Messenger (highest number, top of its list) You must be operating as an Administrator to install the program. Early versions of Messenger 10 had problems in Win 7, so choose the correct highest number version build. 

    Some firewalls have issues with installing Messenger, but disabling your firewall while online is VERY dangerous! Usually, by installing after downloading, the firewall will ask for permission to run the program. 

    If you use Internet Explorer 8 as your browser, Yahoo Messenger 10 will not work properly without Flash and Java programs also installed, and possibly the .NET framework update.
