Basically:
Start up Y!IM
type in my username and password
click sign in
signing in for about 3 minutes....
drops me back to the sign in page.
I ran Y!IM ONCE on this computer but not for a week or so.
Vista home premium.
Trend Micro IS.

Ditch Yahoo and get MSN :P

Or use Trillian...You can sign into one program that has Yahoo, MSN, AIM etc etc...Hard to explain... :P ::)

What antivirus do you have? Your ports might be blocked for some reason.  ;)

I use Trend Micro Internet Security. It seems that many of my internet programs don't run at peak internet times. Which include Y!IM and FSX Multiplayer.

I overcome those sort of problems by either....

Telephoning.
Writing a letter.
Popping round to see them.

Paul....A Pencil and Paper Bloke... ;)....!

Everything else, emails + IM.
YahooIM works now but doesn't on say, friday nights when the net is super busy.
