saucy Posted August 21, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'm having a problem with the new Yahoo messenger I just downloaded. I try to sign into messenger, but it won't let me. I keep putting in my password, then acts like it's going to do something, but just sits there and doesn't sign me it. The screen goes back to "SIGN INTO MESSENGER" I'll click it again to sign in and the same thing happens. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Absurdity Posted August 21, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Re-install the old messenger, and uninstall the new one. The new one is not reliable, hearing from others and from my own experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucy Posted August 21, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I tried that and it didn't work. I uninstalled messenger, but couldn't find an old version to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fulltimekiller Posted August 23, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Did it say any error message? Are you behind a firewall? if you are you might be letting in the old version but not the new one.So go to your firewall setting and change it to allow messenger.

saucy Posted September 9, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Thanks for all your help. I figured out the problem. It was indeed the firewall. For anyone having the same problems, just check your firewall settings. Find messenger and it might say that the firewall is blocking it and many other things from being used. You can un-block those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
