Download for another version of 9 is in progress. Month ago, I downloaded another version of 9. I will now have 3 versions of 9. Needed version 8 to communicate with friend in Pakistan but could not find it anywhere. whassup with all these versions! should I unload versions when new one is created? Very hard to get into messenger when 9 always pops up and I already have newest versions. David, friend of yahoo

@David -
When you upgrade to a newer version of Yahoo! Messenger, the old version is overwritten. There’s no need to uninstall and then install the latest (unless you prefer that method).

I’ve been trying several times to upgrade to the newest version, but have failed. I hit ‘Run’ twice and nothing happens except for the 1st time, then it said ‘Not responding’. I signed out and back in and still nothing. Help, please? Thanks! : )

I cant install yahoo messenger Japanese along with English version. In order to install Japanese version i need to remove the English version and vice versa.
Any help please

Hi Google,
That is correct. You cannot have both installed at the same time. You’ll need to uninstall the English version and then install the Japanese one.
To uninstall, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove programs

@Live – That’s correct. You can only have one version or the other on your machine at the same time.
