My yahoo messenger keeps freezing while I am in a messenger chat room with the CPU Usage going up to 95-100% with the yahoo messenger program immediately and can only be switched off with .windows task manager. For an hour or two after this happens it is impossible to get back in to any yahoo messenger chat room again. What is the solution. I am using Windows XP?

if you want to chat on yahoo messenger than log in with your account and go to messenger-->yahoo chat-->join room and select the room you like.after that they will redirect you to enter captcha page.fill it and get ready for chat.

sign in your Yahoo Messenger. Then go to MESSENGER, then YAHOO! CHAT, then JOIN ROOM

When you have the Yahoo! Messenger 9 window open (with your friends and whatnot) go to Messenger, and then Yahoo! Chat. A sidebar will come up next to Yahoo! Chat with the options Join a room, create a room, and favorite rooms. From there you can choose which you want to do.

I installed the most recent version of Yahoo! Messenger 9 just now and that's how it's set up for me. :)

Hope that helped. Have a great evening and please don't forget to rate this solution.
