Updated 9.0 addresses Vista issues
November 18, 2008 on 10:41 am | In 9.0 version |
Thanks to everyone for their feedback here on the blog about the issues they were having when trying to run Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 on a Windows Vista PC. With your help, we were able to implement several bug fixes that have significantly reduced the number of crash reports we are seeing from Windows Vista users.
So, if you had trouble getting Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 to run on your Vista PC, please download and install the latest version (9.0.0.2034) that we released last week:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/win
If after installing this new version you continue to have problems with launching Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 on your Vista PC, please leave us a comment here on the blog.
Thanks,
Sarah Bacon
Product Manager
The other day after I downloaded the new version, I tried to changed the skin and did tried black and white, then all of the sudden I could not find the “personalize skin icon”. It took me hours and I keep finding the skin icon. So I decided to uninstalled the YM version 9 then I downloaded it again. At this time, it is back to normal and I won’t change the skin color to either black or white.

Couldn’t Yahoo Messenger have a bit better update system? Do I REALLY have to do the download/wizard/UAC/… thingy for every minor upgrade?
No, I STILL don’t want no toolbars and changes of my browser home site. And Y!’d better remember it from my previous installation options

[...] has released an updated version of Messenger and is now at version 9.0.0.234 (http://www.ymessengerblog.com/blog/2008/11/18/updated-90-addresses-vista-issues/). This is apparently due to some problems with the previous version working under Microsoft Vista [...]

Hello, I have been tried to download the new version at least 10 times and it times out after 41%. Oh yeah, I have windows vista.
Comment by Jozette — November 18, 2008 #
Before installing this version everything was working fine except some hangs in messenger but after updating to the latest version now i have a serious problem, now i am unable to call a PC. Whenever i tried to call a PC the messenger gets hang and finally i have to kill his process…
Comment by Immi — November 18, 2008 #
There is absolutely no change for me. This 2034 build still crashes just as much on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit as it did before. It’s even worse on XP. Signing out it stops responding and freezes up and crashes. Random crashes because of users Webcams you’re viewing connections closing. Freezing during Sign out or Close. This still happens on both Vista and XP for me both 32 bit OS’s.
Yes I run Yahoo! Messenger 9.0.0.2034 as administrator on Vista. Yes I’ve uninstalled the previous 2018 before installing 2034.
Comment by SGFC — November 18, 2008 #

Comment by isaiah — November 18, 2008 #
I’m using XP, not Vista, and I had the launching issues with version 9…. until today! Thanks for the functioning update!
Comment by Mike — November 18, 2008 #
Every time I launch Messenger..it asks me to sign in with name/password. Even tho I have ’save’ checked for those. It also always asks me to import contacts. Sigh. Using Vista Home Premium on a new HP machine. Using the latest version you mention.
Comment by eknirb — November 18, 2008 #
I’m a XP user too and there are this dialog box “blah…..pls try again later… 81003005″. It is an old problem in messenger when i search it in yahoo or google, and until today, i cannot sign-in. hope that you can fix this too.
god bless..
Comment by bugoy — November 18, 2008 #
It still will not let me log in. Just plain and simply the same message pops up everytime. “Messanger encounted a problem. Please check the network connection and then click “Try Again” (81003004)”
Comment by lovlylittlekitten — November 18, 2008 #
My OS is vista and i’ve tried the new version of YM but i can’t log in… i tried downgrading the version to 8, and then to 7, but i still can’t log in… now i’m back to version 9 and still cannot use messenger… the same message appears “…….. pls try again later ….(81003005)” now i’m stuck using the web version of YM but it’s features are limited…

Yahoo Messenger 9 STILL crashes when sending files !!!!!!!!
Every time a new build appears I send files to see if it crashes, and just when I think it’s fixed, it just hangs, uses 99% cpu and I have to kill the process.
I have “taskkill /f /im YahooMessneger.exe” as a shortcut !
Comment by TLP — November 19, 2008 #

Comment by h.dean — November 19, 2008 #

Comment by Jeff — November 19, 2008 #

Comment by CYD CHARIZ — November 19, 2008 #
I installed the most recent update and now Messenger hangs and is extremely slow when I try to start it. I’ve tried reinstalling older verisions, reinstalling the current version, nothing helps.
Please look into this–i’m running XP SP3.
Thanks!
Comment by Alicia — November 19, 2008 #
Thanks for updating for those of us with VISTA. I still cannot see the emotes and have to “hover” to see it typed as to what emote it is. The little emote box pops up with no faces…just hovering text.
Comment by giddy1966 — November 19, 2008 #
This build still causes a crash when I start to type an IM to anyone within my local network at work. Sending IMs to the outside world is fine. Is there a NAT traversal issue here?
Comment by JP — November 19, 2008 #
This version also still crashes on me and im on windows vista premium..
Comment by Kidchaos — November 19, 2008 #
Wow and it only took 2 years for a stable Yahoo Messenger to emerge. Good job Yahoo.

This version is as stable Charlie Manson.
Comment by rkinne01 — November 19, 2008 #
Still having problems with 2018 and 2034. I transferred a file containing custom emotes to a friend in 2034 and several and I mean several emotes failed to show up in chat. The file was received, downloaded in messenger with no problem. After that is where all went wrong. The missing ones seemed to be randomly selected for removal.
Comment by duck — November 19, 2008 #
How about you please just give us back the Vista WPF version and make some improvements/bugfixes to it?

Comment by Sabbir Ahsan — November 19, 2008 #
Now my Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2034 crashed three times in the past 2 days
Once right after signing into Yahoo Messenger then opening the email notification. Then after that it crashed again while playing a PC game SWAT 4. The one more time after installing and running Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta.
Also I got one person that commented my blog about PC to PC calling is not up for Vista and Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2034.
Comment by Homer — November 19, 2008 #
THANKS FOR NOTHING. I TRIED YOUR SUPPOSEDLY GREAT NEW UPDATE, AND NOW I HAVE NO MESSENGER AT ALL!! WHAT IS THAT? I WISH TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL, BUT THERE IS NO OPTION FOR THAT.
Comment by NURSE WHITE — November 19, 2008 #
I see many complaints and no help on this blog. Couple this with the lack of live technical help and it sucks. My old messenger worked fine and then it suddenly decided it could not connect to voice service. Th;is was with XP and no firewall. I installed the latest 9.0 and it still doesn’t work. What am I supposed to do, wait for the Yahoo Gods to fix something?
Comment by cyberanvil — November 19, 2008 #
I am having problems signing in…Yahoo Messenger 9.0 hangs at sign in screen. Constantly asks me to retry and the same outcome. I really don’t recommend this version to anyone…
Comment by Charlie — November 20, 2008 #

I have 9.0 messenger on this machine of mine, its vista basic.
of the problems that other users are having, I tend to worry a bit, worst possible situation can happen. Not to mention losing friends on my contact list.
as the saying goes, murphy’s law.
Comment by Barry — November 21, 2008 #
I have loaded 9.0 several times and am experiencing the same problems as others, it will not launch. My error message states “Yahoo! Messenger has stopped working”. I even tried uninstalling and downgrading to 8.1, although, I was able to log on but the friends/family window was blank; I could use any of the commands. Consequently, I re-loaded 9.0 and still no luck in getting in. Btw, I too have Windows Vista. I would greatly appreciate a solution, using AIM is no comparison to Yahoo. Please give me my YM back…smile Thank you!
Comment by Iz — November 21, 2008 #
Hi!
I upgraded my YM to this new version…
…and, well, now my friends say they don’t see me with any status message even if I have one typed on the stat box.
They also see me online when I’m invisible.
…Now I’m beginning to think that upgrading was a bad idea…the old 9.0 version I had installed before worked just fine.
Any help, please? :-s
Comment by PM — November 21, 2008 #

HELP!!!!!!!!
I so disgusted.
Comment by L W — November 21, 2008 #
Still doesn’t work on full version vista 64. Crashes seconds after starting.
Comment by Adam — November 21, 2008 #
The problem seems to stem from the ads running at the bottom. The moment it tries to download the ‘next ad’ is when it crashes. What dependency does that ad have as far as other software is concerned? Flash? Quicktime? Shockwave?
Comment by Paul — November 21, 2008 #
okay I just reformatted my laptop and before I reformatted the laptop I can use messenger just fine but after I reformatted my laptop and download messenger it just keep showing the message that “messenger has stop working” I couldn’t even log in. since the thing will not show up.
Comment by charlie — November 21, 2008 #
Okay this new version dont work all that well either
Whenever I minimize messenger it doesnt go to the system tray like it used to
Whats up with that
Comment by natasha — November 21, 2008 #
messenger 9 can have issues if you have iolo antivirus installed, it will cause a fault in the secure32.dll.
it can also have issues if you have an older version of hauppauge wintv 2000 software installed. it overwrites system files and causes flashplayer to not install correctly as well, which in turn leads to crashes in messenger 9.
hope this helps somehow… its a pain in the butt but it can be fixed.
Comment by Jase — November 21, 2008 #
Youre problems are that you are using a crappy chat client with a crappy os. I would kill for a five year old version of messenger to go with my windows xp.
Nice big brother features in the new version too. Automatically provides updates of what I am doing on yahoo sites. Are you trying to turn YIM into facebook.
Oh and the one feature you stole from gtalk is the one feature I hate from gtalk. I want to see the persons name in front of each line they typed.
I am thinking Trillian is calling my name.
Heres a thought, how about a yahoo messenger client that actually sticks to messenging.

Comment by ayyoob — November 22, 2008 #
I have an HP Pavilion dv9000 installed with VHome Premium. I have tried to DL the Y! messenger numerous times on my laptop, and it still comes up with the same response - Yahoo Instant messenger has crashed and Windows is trying to find a fix (or something to that effect). I have been able to install the newest version on a brand new Dell Vostro desktop with VBiz, and a hand built box with Win2000 Pro.
So, what’s the issue with VHome Premium and Y!IM?
Comment by Empyrean — November 22, 2008 #
thank you sarah bacon!
Comment by anggel — November 22, 2008 #
After 7 years of using YMess I switched to MSN LIVE.. mainly because i waited almost 2 years for a promised really cool and nice Messenger for Vista, and what I`m getting it`s a buggy IM client that crashes all the times, freezes, can`t get me logged in all the time..for now i`ll stick with MSN LIVE, until the release of Trillian Astra which have many of the features I`ve been waiting for 2 years in Y! For Vista.. And you decided to stop working on it..Oh, well, no problem., bye- bye buggy Yahoo, hello MSN, Trillian, open-source, no matter who.. but to provide beautiful , clean, third-millennium IM, not an 15 years old buggy Messenger reloaded.
No wonder Yahoo! Company dropped 3 times in market value this year..bad management, bad ideas, bad moves, you forgot your users and focused on advertising incomes.
Comment by Tiberiu — November 22, 2008 #
I downloaded the new verison yesterday, and now I can’t sign in at all. My messenger is my only way to talk to the people I care about, Becouse I am mostly homebound, I want my old version back. It worked just fine. Please help me. thank you.

Comment by annie — November 22, 2008 #
yahoo messenger has serious issues, maybe its my pc, maybe its vista, whenever i run messenger and enter chat it actually cuts off my dsl, i have to uninstall messenger to get it to work again !!!!!!!
has anyone else had this problem ?
plus the new version of messenger is so slow to load and will not respond when i sign out.
Comment by martin glasson — November 22, 2008 #
Hello, I updated to the newest version and something very wacky happens every time I click on the icon
it goes black, then the color quality decreases to 8 bit 0_0
I’ve eliminated my graphics card card being the source, since it only happens when i click on it (and it also does the opposite, going from 8 to 32)
I have XP sp2 and I’m frankly scared out of my mind
any ideas y?
Comment by Qhj — November 22, 2008 #
what a travesty, do you actually think you can run a company and produce a product like this ?
yahoo is no longer my home page and I will tell all I can to avoid you like the plague.
Comment by martin glasson — November 22, 2008 #
Yahoo, you are still not listening! Your 9.0 Version completely SUCKS!!!!
You say there are fixes? How about fixing it, as I everytime I load Yahoo Messenger my internet disables itself. I can’t browse nothing. However if I close out of Yahoo Messenger it works fine… PLEASE BRING BACK YAHOO FOR VISTA!!!!! IT WORKS 9.0 Doesn’t… If you keep this up I guess I will just have to leave Yahoo completely as you ppl are wasting mine and others who are still having issues.

I know this isn’t strictly the right place to post as I’m using XP but Vista users will be affected as well…why oh why don’t you fix the Temp File Dump bug in builds 2018 and this 2034??…I’m fed up with having to delete hundreds of temp files from my Messenger Folder after using the programme each time.
I’ve reported this bug three times since build 2018 was released but no-one seems interested.
Version 9 is a poor Messenger compared to 8…why don’t you keep 9 in beta till you fix all its problems??…if you ever do that is.

Comment by Susan Mitchell — November 23, 2008 #
Also, is there any way to Uninstall Windows Vista and downgrade back to windows xp? Messenger seemed to work ok on it. (Someone at work told me if the computer came with it already installed by the manufacturer, it wasn’t possible). I tried it and it didn’t work so is there a way around it short of wiping out the whole memory and starting over from scratch? It’s a dell 1525 inspiron.

Of course I am running vista 64 bit on my laptop and no matter what version I install, every time I run yahoo messenger, my Internet connection is lost. I cannot surf the web period.

Today I have downloaded the new version of yahoo messenger which I successfully installed in my computer, however whenever I try to put my any yahoo ID and passowrd it can not connect and it kept dispalying a message “New User? - Sign In Probles? - Try again” Initially I thought it was a connection problem but I checked my inter connections and were ok. I have tried to uninstall-down, load a new file and reinstall yet the problem still persists.
Kindly help me out.

Comment by Brian — December 2, 2008 #
i have tried several times to install it, but cannot figure out why i cannot….i am not sure if it is because i canceled it through shutting down or something and then deleting all the files i could and doing a system restore back to the point before the install….i get this every time i install though…
here is the situation in a screenshot

Are you out there Yahoo?? I will add my issue to the long list but ever since downloading the new version (on my XP machine), I have not been able to use Yahoo IM. It installed sucessfully but when I log in, it starts, I see my buddy list for about 2 secs and it just closes. What is up? When can we expect a fix or at least a post to a older version that seems to have worked fine for many. Thanks in advance.

yahoo messenger will not load at all. it wont even start.
Comment by Sam — December 5, 2008 #
Don’t know if this is a related issue but I have XP and Yahoo is not connecting for me today either when it’s usually fine. I’m running an older version (ver 6) and it’s been working fine up until today. Probably a Yahoo network problem.

Update: Found the answer to today’s problem lol!

I keep having problems with not receiving my offline messages. This has been going on for almost a month now. Sometimes I get the message, but more often than not, I don’t. My computer has vista
, and I’m thinking that may be part of the problem. I installed YM 9.0 the day before yesterday. That was no help at all. Any ideas?
Comment by Kim — December 6, 2008 #
Okay. I’m running a laptop with Vista Home Premium 64bit and Yahoo messenger is junk. Half the time it doesn’t install or connect to the server. The other half when I try to log in it doesn’t even attempt to do anything but say connecting then take me right back to the login in page without any explanation.
Junk software + Junk Os = Pissed off Users.

i only have 1 complaint which should not be much of a problem but its irritating
me and my friends make our own conferences and when someone speaks in the conference, the ID isnt where it is supposed to be but it is halfway across the screen, could you please look into this, thanks

I have the latest version as mentioned in the blog. Unfortunately the issue remains for me. I click on the Yahoo icon to start Yahoo and nothing happens. The hard drive spins a little like it MIGHT start, but, alas, after a minute it’s apparent that it won’t.
YahooMessenger.exe appears in the process list when looking at the running task list, so it gets as far as listing itself.

My problem with Vista is that I can log into yahoo messenger, BUT NONE OF MY BUDDIES SHOW UP ONLINE.
I can go to the BETA and there they all are, but on messenger they don’t appear.
Comment by Jim — December 6, 2008 #
I have no problems downloading the new version on my vista but soon after I log in I get the error message saying it needs to close.
At this point I wish I had my old crappy 8 year old computer back.

Every time after I signed in for a lit bit, Y!M automatically sign out. And then there was a warning said “Run time error”.
Comment by huy pham — December 7, 2008 #
Just another bug: When I minimize a conversation window (I press the “-” for minimizing) it will automatically enable the “Animate windows when minimizing/maximizing” effect in “Visual Effects”. I hate this effect and thus I have to disable it every time. And it is getting kind of annoying.
Vista user with aero enabled.

Hi. I’m running Windows Vista Sp1 and just recentlly my ym kept crashing. I have the latest version installed. Error message kept appearing regarding the Adobe Flashplayer script of some sort.. I reinstalled ym 2x already and i still get the same error msg. I was thinking maybe those advertisements shown at the bottom of messenger have script errors.
Comment by Joel — December 8, 2008 #
Re downloaded 9.0 and still can’t sign in. I changed my Yahoo passsword. Does that have something to do with it? It just keeps shuting off when I try to sign in, but isn’t giving me the option to put in my id and password.
Comment by Porter — December 8, 2008 #
I have 2034, Vista SP1, etc. Every time I turn it on, it asks for a username and password (even though it is always checked), then I have to redo the appearance. Sometimes, it won’t even let me change it out of the ugly “detailed” to “Compact”, as well as “real name” to “Yahoo ID”. When I minimize, even though the box is checked, it will still inform me about minimizing to the tray.

I have an HP Pavilion dv6700 installed with Vista Home Premium.

I am not able to install the newest version. Could you plz suggest how to install yahoo messager.

oh… for anyone who are having problem “Not enough storage to complete operation” when opening chatbox.. The solution is : UPGRADE YOUR INTERNET EXPLORER.. Mine was originally IE7.. and the problem keeps on happening.. later, i tried to update my IE from 7 to 8 (beta).. it works fine… wah…
Comment by butilities — December 10, 2008 #
Man you guys suck bad, still the issue with AERO and still a bad issue with webcams. Sometimes Yahoo crashes for no reasons and sometimes the cam doesnt work at all.
Comment by Jose — December 10, 2008 #
I am still having a problem downloading YM. I have worked on YM before and then all of a sudden it stopped working. I have uninstalled the new version 6 times and still I get a network connection error. I have not changed my network or the connection. I did not move anything around or unplug cables. Gmail IM works fine. My preference is Yahoo Messenger. This problem has been going on for weeks and I have tried to get it rectified through emailing Yahoo for assistance without any response from Yahoo.
Comment by Marcia — December 10, 2008 #
You guys should just scrap again the current Yahoo 9.0 and redo the code from scratch. You should have continued using the Yahoo 8.0 format, it was great it really didnt need a lot of new features.
Comment by Jose — December 11, 2008 #
It should be obvious to anyone reading this thread that YAHHOO DOES NOT CARE about the fact that v 9 sucks and does not work. The only question above that they answered was from a moron who did not know how to double click on a contact to start a conversation. Cmon Yahoo, at least try to answer the questions above!
Comment by joe — December 12, 2008 #
I’m still having issues with the webcam…When I close yahoo or the cam it freezes up. I have 2 systems…and it does it on both. Vista Home 32-bit and Vista Home 64-bit SP1. I hate when progs freeze up…
Comment by Ed — December 12, 2008 #
I have a rather annoying problem in Vista with v9.. Whenever I enter a chatroom, the client crashes.
If it’s any help, I always see the same ad in the bottom of the chat client. It starts with the icon of a PC with the words “Computer” under it - it ALWAYS crashes at the same moment.
And I get the crash no matter what chatroom I try to enter.

I installed Yahoo! Messenger on my brand new laptop 5 days ago and up until this morning it has been running fine. Today when I try to log in I get error message 81003004. I have tried changing my settings. I have tried uninstall and reinstall. Both yielding the same results. What is the actual solution to this problem?
Comment by Stefanie Beaubien — December 15, 2008 #
The animations for minimizing and maximizing windows for me turns off whenever I open a message window. It’s really annoying, please fix!!

For calling and devices no matter what device I pick it will only use the system default. In other words I can’t use my USB headset unless it’s set as the system default.

I just installed the latest version of Yahoo IM 9 on my Acer Aspire 5610 and it wont even start up. I press the icon in both the quick launch bar and in the Yahoo messenger file of the programs list on the start menu.
When press the icon, I get the icon like the computer is thinking (like the hour glass but a spinning circle) but then it just stops, and nothing happens.

I am trying to install Yahoo! messenger on my Windows Vista’ Laptop. It seems that I am getting the popular probelm “Messenger encountered a connection problem. Please check the network connection and then click “Try Again”. (81003004) ”
Although I downloaded the latest version mentioned above in this page. I tried several times (Install/Uninstal) with no luck!
After doing uninstall still:
- Yahoo! Install Manager, and
- Yahoo! Internet Mail
appear in “Control Panel\Programs and Features” that I can uninstall.
Help will be highly appreciated.

I get a app crash while running latest version on Vista. The Fault module name is ntdll.dll. This happens in the middle of the chat sessions quite randomly.
Comment by Mark Thompson — December 22, 2008 #
[...] be a good idea to read comments on yahoo messenger blog Yahoo! Messenger Blog Updated 9.0 addresses Vista issues (its slightly old but still might help) If you can get version 9 removed, try version 7 instead. [...]
