Update for 9.0: installation fixes
February 24, 2009 on 10:54 am | In 9.0 version | 113 Comments
Yesterday we released an updated version of Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 (9.0.0.2136). This latest version includes fixes that should help those that were having problems installing 9.0 It should also alleviate problems that may have been caused by software conflicts with antivirus programs or add-ons like Speedbit Video Accelerator*.
To download this latest version, please visit:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/win
Please leave a comment here on the post to let us know if this latest version alleviated your installation problems. Please note that we are still working out the sign-in issues; those have not been addressed yet in this latest version.
Sarah Bacon
Product Manager
* There is still a conflict between 9.0 and Speedbit for users on Windows 2000.
It seems to work well
If you still getting error code 81003005
Try this solution
Head over to https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot?done=&src=&partner=&intl=us
Click on either “I forgot my password” or “My password doesn’t work”, and follow the process.
Click on the link that is sent to you via email, and choose a new password. Viola. Error # 81003005 is solved.

It’s g@@d to know that the Yahoo Messenger Team is on the job.
I had downloaded the recent Messenger version & installed it.
Afterwards I went back & install the current version of SpeedBit Video Accelerator 2.3.4.4
Be ADVISED that when asked to RESTART please do so, otherwise problems.
Everything is functioning okay in regards to this two programs.
Thank you!

reply back for “Katrina — February 24, 2009 “.
its not our pc’s that are at fult,, its the new yahoo messenger and its site or its servers,,,lol,,
for awhile i complained the the launchCast music plugin did not work all the way ,,,guess what ?,,ever since “cbs radio” took over now the plugin works great, it even has a slightly new look.
so you see,, its the site and its new yahoo messenger having issues with each other.
other then that , i have no problems now with the new yahoo messenger 9.0.0.2136.
i always keep my java and flash and other adobe.com stuff up to date.
also i always keep up to date on windows updates.

After I downloaded the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger, I haven’t been able to type Vietnamese while chatting, although I have re-installed UniKey, which worked perfectly for the previous version. It’s quite troublesome as I am used to typing Vietnamese in Y!M, so now I have to type it in notepad and copy-paste it to Y!M. Hope you can fix this soon.
All the best.
Comment by Hai Yen — February 27, 2009 #
As notified in previous posts: The “friend typing notification message”, is still working badly. It is not as accurate as it was in Y! Messenger 8! It’s a pity!!!!
I know that it is not the subject of this fixed version but anyway I’m telling it again and again.

Comment by torres — February 27, 2009 #
A lot of problems with the installation, weird. YM offer a standalone installer? They should, especially for those with slower connections.
The bug I’ve noticed for quit awhile is YM’s failure to notify user of new email in the inbox AT LOG ON. YM only notifies the user if a new email arrives in the inbox while YM IS ALREADY LOGGED ON.
Comment by Chuck — February 27, 2009 #
I have installed this, but my IM windows remain blank– I can’t see anything my friend is typing, and I can’t see the message I have typed. :/

Hello Sarah Bacon,
I’ve noticed that recently there isn’t a section to change the “quote” in the yahoo profile right under your info of Age/Gender/Location.. Was that taken out on purpose, just something overlooked or an error? Can you guys fixed that up… I know it seems like a small and in those regards hopefully is also easy to fix.
Thanks,
Regulo

Could you please check the groups ?
I am trying to create new groups and move my contacts there, but my contacts seem not to move, from the original group that i had placed them
I am using yahoo as a professional tool on a daily basis, and all of my colleagues are facing the same problems
I can move the contact to an existing group i had from before, but if I want to create a new group and move the contact there, unfo there is no luck
Awaiting yours

I am trying to install on a Windows Vista Home edition laptop and get an error at 25%.
“The file ‘C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ Yahoo!\YUpdater\yupdater.exe’ could not be open.”
I downloaded the install file “ymsgr900_2136_us” so I could run it as an admin hoping this would solve the probelm, but nothing seems to work. I had version 8 installed and working, I am going to try and reinstall it.

8.1.0.421 has been working fine for me for eons, but I’ve been unable to sign in for the last 12 or 13 hours. No word on the blog about whether this is a known issue, but there sure are a lot of questions on Y! Answers from people with a similar plight.
Sure would be nice if you guys had a maintenance-and-issues page so we could know we’re not alone when this happens!

Ok, what is going on? I am unable to sign into messenger. I have not been able to sign in for 3 weeks. I keep getting the code 81003005 This is very annoying. I can sign in using other yahoo Id’s and friends can sign in from my computer but I can’t sign in with my main yahoo account user Id nor any of the alias’ associated with that ID. I’m tired of using the web version and I want my messenger back!! I’ve alread uninstalled the new version, reinstalled the old one and than went back to the new one. I’m VERY UNHAPPY with Yahoo right now. I’ve changed my password and tried many other ways to correct the problem but at this point its all on the Yahoo team……

I’ve tried toooo many times to dl yahoo messenger. I even just tried your update.. All my friends say they’ve had the same problems downloading it. I had thought about switching from aol because thier service is going down hill fast and thier joint effort with bebo is a disaster but it seems Yahoo isn’t any better. Doesn’t anything work right anymore?????????
Comment by Kyle — March 6, 2009 #
Yahoo 9 has issues sending files.. it doesn’t matter if I’m sending to an older version of the client, or with the same version, quite often the transfer will fail .. if you send the same file again it will usually go through.. this issue has existed for a long long time..
I downgraded as a test back to an early version of 8 and I can send and receive flawlessly every single time..
I see lots of people complaining about this if I google around, is there ever going to be a solution to this problem? this is a huge irritation .. the recommendation most people give me is “use MSN or AIM to send files… ” … sad when that is the suggestion..

I have a question. I waited 2+ years to get messenger for Vista with sound. It kept giving compression errors. I finally got 9.0.0.2034 which had working sound for chat rooms, now SUDDENLY it stopped working and has those same old message again from before saying “This computer does not support the required audio compression format”. WHAT ON EARTH happend that you are suddenly no longer supporting this again? Now what are we suppose to do for getting sound in chat rooms? What on earth is the problem that it’s so unstable for us?

I changed my account password and now I cant sign into messanger and I need my phone which is through yahoo voice and my phone book in the messanger, but up until that point it worked great since I joined in 2006
Comment by Jared M. — March 6, 2009 #
One issue I face with version 9 is contact list not getting refreshed or displayed properly. Some of them are not visible to me and I am not visible to some (when status is actually ‘available’). But when one of such contacts signs in or out, I get the notification “so and so signed in/out”, though I can’t see them in the list.
Comment by Jay — March 6, 2009 #
Data Execution Prevention error. I know that this is a huge problem, because all searches for it on Yahoo produce few results. Why not address it? I’m not going to disable DEP to install YM.
Comment by name required — March 6, 2009 #
I still just uninstalled and reinstalled the newest version of YM and I still get the 81003005 message. Plus I can’t even login to my yahoo mail. Is there something going on? I am currently deployed, and the guys in the room next to me are having no problems. This is brutal.

I made the mistake of upgrading to Messenger 9, now I get kicked off my att.net sign ins, I can’t access Messenger–and Yahoo doesn’t allow us a simple method to go back. None of my contacts show up, though it says they were transferred.
Why did you release a Beta full of bugs without testing? I thought only Microsoft did that with Windows versions!

I have tried atleast 20 times to install IMmessenger this is a new computer with nothing on it just out of the box and I still can not load it. I go to 99% but that is it. I have tried to remove it but I get a message that there is not install what’s going on??????????????????
Comment by Bernie — March 8, 2009 #
Suddenly my phone out account shows 0 and subsequent calls and chats (2 hrs worth) say I have to upgrade to Messenger 9. Do not like 9. Want to stay with Messenger 8. Has all the features I like. I am being forced to upgrade to a system that appears to have many flaws. What’s wrong with this picture? Why make me change from something that works well? My lettr is in the mail to Carol Bartz. Bad way to run a company. Running people off is more like it. Facebook here I come.
Comment by Valerie Osgood — March 8, 2009 #
Hello!!
Any comment about the friend typing notification message problem?
It was accurate before you change its localisation, now it is not:
I have tried sending messages between 2 accounts, one with the messenger for the web and one with this last version.
It’s working very well with the web messenger. (Notification on Yahoo messenger for the web very precise if I’m typing or not on yahoo messenger 9) but not accurate with this news version (stop notifying after a few second even if I’m still writing with Yahoo messenger for the web)
I just wanted to have a comment from the manager.
Is it a problem that is going to be corrected in the next Y! Messenger version?
Thank you!

I attempted to download Messenger 9 tonight. The messenger icon is on my desktop and I clicked it to continue installation. However my computer freezes at step 2 of 4. Also, the properties menu says the version is 2009.2.20.1. Please assist so I may use Messenger. I had the same issue this time last year and issue was not resolved.
Comment by Cheryl — March 8, 2009 #
I made a big mistake download the new verison of yahoo messenger 9. None of the apllications work. If you are going to put a new verison out there for people to use then you should make sure all of the applications work. When i click on the mail Icon, a window comes up and says Application not found. It won’t take me to my email box. The yahoo messenger 9 sucks
Comment by Jason — March 9, 2009 #
I still cannot download 9.0 I tried the fixed link and it starts the download and then hangs at 100% and switches from responding to not responding. I also tried downloading it from Cnet or download.com and I get a message that my firewall is blocking it, which it was not, I checked and even turned it off , with the same results. I am on windows Vista 64. And Really frustrated!!!!

Hey….Does anyone know how long this thing downloads? I need to know! And are there many problems with it?
Comment by Diane — March 9, 2009 #
Yes there is many problems with it , actually it still has the same problems it had in the previous versions , the display picture is not fixed yet and it’s still *black box* , i recommend relying more on Windows Live Messenger or other messenger it’s more reliable and at least when there is a problem with it they fix it right away not ignore it for almost a year , and we were complaining about Windows and their products it seems like the other companies can do much worse!
Comment by Angel Daniel — March 10, 2009 #
there is a problem with Yahoo in some countries especially those that are on the terrorists list , unfortunately for Yahoo and their attempts to play along with the government wishes that actions are not going to change a thing , there are many other messengers that can be used in that countries and windows live messenger is on the top of that list and it’s not like Yahoo messenger can’t be used from that countries it’s still functional and works 99% so pretty much what Yahoo is doing is messing up their services for the rest of their clients
Comment by Steven — March 10, 2009 #
Is there a way to download the older version? I upgraded to this and have had nothing but problems. I download it and install it and it works fine.. but as soon as my computer is restarted all of the sudden I can’t sign in??!

Comment by mousey — March 10, 2009 #
I think recent sign in issue is created by a windows patch. I was able to sign in fine till now even though this disscussion about sign in issues have been going on since 2 weeks. But after I installed a recent windows patch, I was not able to sign in.
Latest version 9.0.0.2136 seems to solve the sign in issue, but it also has some new behaviour that I don’t like, notably (1) ” is typign message” and “Last message received …” indications in the sent portion of IM window. I don’t like this new way of these indications, old way was better, looked more professional.
(2) When I minimize main messenger window it goes to right most of all other open windows in the taskbar, very annoying.
Comment by Saurabh — March 10, 2009 #
To add and/or move contacts, try using the address book instead of the messenger interface. Personally, I’ve had better luck.
For those locked out, does it apply to YIM only? Can you still log on to Yahoo! Mail?
For those who would like to prevent their accounts from sending out spam: changer your password.

Having issues with Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2136. I just installed it on XP and when I minimize the main messenger window, its location on the taskbar gets moved to the end. How do you stop this behavior?
Comment by JDL — March 17, 2009 #
Also having the “server error (error code:-40402)” issue.
“Use online address book” is not a “solution,” at least no more than is “use Win Live instead of Yahoo.”
I’d like to like Yahoo–it has the best address book capabilities I’ve seen–including in Outlook–but seems too damn buggy to be worth using.

Fail to log into messenger despite installing version 7, 7.5, 8 and 9. Tell me, is yahoo programmers lousy or what? I can’t even access to emails, kept telling me wrong id, password- i created new emails to test it, same problem too. So what is the problem? Written to yahoo, but seems like they are still sleeping, nothing from them at all

i have two problems :
1- the display picture still not working and all i get is a little black box it seems like the problem first appeared when i switch from one ISP to another and since then it stopped working
2- as of today this is the second time this month i get an error and Yahoo crashed on me *the system is clean and no other problems with any other program and sent the report to windows*
.Windows Vista sp1
Comment by Devil — March 29, 2009 #
I installed YM as an Administrator in Vista Home Premium with SP1. A problem I see is that when I open up a chat window (as a standard user) and click on the emoticon icon, the usual pop up that contains the smileys is just a grey box. I can mouse over each mini square within the box and the labels would show up but the smileys themselves are nowhere to be found. This problem is not found when I use the Administrator account. I tried to search for the smiley graphics and I found them in the virtualstore folder (the virtualized folder used by Vista’s UAC). How can this be fixed?
Comment by Marlon — March 30, 2009 #
Please do something about the file transfer. If I am trying to send a file that I am using at the same time, messenger 9 always freezes. Also, a classic skin would be much appreciated as it uses less resources.

The problem with my Yahoo messenger is, it does not respond when i open, that installer/uninstaller hangs when i try to use it. What could be the problem. I’m using windows XP and i have DAP(download accelerator plus) and Speedbit video accelerator installed, are they the ones causing the problem?

My problem is : when i log off it freezes and asks me to send error messege every single time. Triied reinstalling it several times with no avail. My audio conferences get dropped constantly and says the connection was lost. The biggest issue is: most of the time my family and friends do not recieve my instant messeges or my offlines. I thought people were just ignoring me until i started making phone calls and found most of them are having the same issues with 9.0 so i know for a fact its not my ISP nor my computer since i build and program high performance computers i know for a fact it’s not my set up.
CONCLUSION: I believe that yahoo took messenger 9.0 out of beta too soon. It still needs work. —- rolling back to 8

I tried the “forgot my password” link and it locked my account. How can I fix messenger so it will work again?

Will this download, http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/win works with IE8?
My current Y Msger stops working after I upgraded to an IE8.
Comment by Xu — August 20, 2009 #
By ’stop working’ i mean i could not log in at all, not even on the web messenger.
Comment by Xu — August 20, 2009 #
However, by clicking on http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/win , I see it still brings me to “Click Download Now to begin downloading and installing Yahoo! Messenger 9.0.
ver. 9.0.0.2162″
Comment by Xu — August 20, 2009 #
@Xu – Yes, Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 is compatible with Internet Explorer 8.
