You might have a corrupt file in your Yahoo! Messenger directory. To fix the problem, you must manually delete the "Messenger" directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Yahoo! Messenger application.





All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Copy them like this:





Close Yahoo! Messenger (if it is currently running).





Go to your Desktop and double-click "My Computer."





Select the "C:" drive.





Go to: C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles





Your "Profiles" folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the a different folder on your computer and save..





Now you can DELETE the Yahoo Messenger by deleting the directory:





Close the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed.
