SOURCE: Unable to Install Yahoo! Messenger Firewall Issue or What?

The problem is with the Yahoo uninstall software which fails to clear the old Messenger folder out and creates conflicts with the incoming new software - Your firewall doesn't know whats happening and hoists a red flag. If you had not started to uninstall I would have recommend you download revo and uninstall with that.

bear this in mind if you manage to install messenger but still have problems
You have to go into your C drive and delete the left behind software
Click ( > ) Start > Computer >> Local disk (C) >> Program files >>Yahoo >> Messenger - if you have Vista the folder should be empty - if you have pre- Vista the only sub-folder remaining should be 'Profile' ( The message Archive file) manually delete everything except 'Profile' by right clicking and deleting. When finished restart your computer and finish the install

SOURCE: In yahoo messenger in chat

Try to follow these few steps, & you should be okay =)
1) Go to "Run". You can click the start bar, then type "run" in the search bar, the application should pop-up right after that.
2) In the "Run" interface, type "regedit", & a window says "Registry Editor" should come out after that.
3) Okay, now pay attention because this is where we get the tricks done. In the "Registry Editor" panel, look for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". Expand it.
4) From there (expanded HKEY_CURRENT_USER) & now on, expand all the way according to these order: --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows --> CurrentVersion --> Internet Settings --> Zones.
5) In "Zones", there should be consist ONLY with "0,1,2,3,4" accordingly. Anything besides those numbers, DELETE it. Close the "Registry Editor".
6) Now you can try opening your YM. & tadaaaa!... It's back to normal.

I had a yahoo messenger in my other computer, do I have to download a new yahoo messenger in this new lap top?

Yes you need to download a new yahoo messenger into your new laptop. Since the yahoo messenger is the application needed to connect to your account. if you don't want to install a program into your laptop but you still want to have the functionality of chatting us YM then you can access your yahoo email from yahoo. There is already a feature from mail like a yahoo messenger.

Can i download messenger 10 over my messenger 9

You can download version 10 on your computer and then update YM, running the setup. You cannot have 2 versions of YM on your computer.
If you want to connect to id's at a time use the following: You have to use a multi messenger registry and after you run that registry you will be able to open Yahoo Messenger how many times you want.
Here is a link for the specific registry: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Chat/Instant-Messaging/Yahoo-Multi-Messenger.shtml
http://messenger.ro.im/ym-multi-messenger-for-ym-9-beta.htm
On the second link scroll down and look for "AICI" and click on it to download.
If you need further assistance, just leave a comment. Cheers

Yahoo sayi been sign out because i sign in on a different computer or device

Thats happens for exactly two reasons
1. (the most common) when u are Online on Yahoo Messenger and you are checking your email in a browser.
2. Someone else uses your id and password to log on to your account.

If that happens try to change your YM password, and be very carefull where u are using the account. Never check the box "Remember my id and password ", do not log on on unsecure/unknown PC. ( some hacking software may be installed on unknown/unsecure PC like keylogger who hunts for any accounts logged on the victim PC)
