Yahoo Messenger 9.0 Is Out - But With problems

Saint_Michael
Well last night I got a email from my favorite email provider, yahoo, and said yahoo 9.0 is out with a semi new look. However, thats where my problem begins in which I spent about an hour total with the yahoo crew trying to figure out why this problem is happening and using different trouble shooting idea's. It is also to note that this is my first beta software period that I have actually had a problem, so now my infamous record is tarnish with this little bug.

--Issue--

During the second part of installation at around 35-38% I a get a 404 error I click abort and it tell me that ytb_inst.exe cannot open. Ok so I abort the installation because at the time messenger is install; however, part two of the problem comes into play and that is it disables the password function on the login screen, knowing well enough my password works because how I 100% memorized it.

--Troubleshooting idea's to do--

uninstall yahoo messenger and then reinstall it-Error still
uninstall delete yahoo folder and then reinstall-error still
uninstall yahoo download link provided buy yahoo (mind you its the same link I been using already)-error still
uninstall yahoo install yahoo 8.1 (stable version) then install 9.0 to override old version- Error still

--Conclusion--

Installer is corrupted and yet somehow I am the only with this problem, mind you I tried this on two different computers and have reverted back to 8.1 which luckily enough still works.

--Challenge--

I will provide the download to 9.0 and see if anyone else gets this error, if so make sure to report it or the next stable version will still have this problem. If successful let us know in this topic and see what is different mind you I tried this on XP and Vista and the error shows up.

--UPDATE #1--

Ok after reinstalling 8.1 I came up with the same error and it has to do with the toolbar that yahoo provides for the browsers, so all I did was not select the toolbar for installation I didn't get the error, however, now it seems that the password function is a problem within itself. So if anyways can get the password function to work let us know.

--UPDATE #2--

It seems I have found another problem with 9.0 and that has to do with ysp_inst.exe, which is the program for the search protection tool, whatever that is. I notice that error when I had 8.1 installed and did not select the toolbar to be installed with 9.0, of course for this error to be fixed I had to delete the yahoo folder and then the error disappeared. However, the password problem still remains a mystery so hopefully this news will help figure out what could be wrong with the password problem.

Wow I can't believe it has been 5 months since I posted this topic, and I can now say I can actually get yahoo messenger 9 to work on my computer. Since it seems they were able to figure out why it would allow my password for some reason, and if I remember my version numbers right that was yahoo 9.0.0.1, and this one is 9.0.0.922, and so if you haven't thought about trying out the new yahoo for either XP or Vista you hsould as the vista one is pretty good, FYI need to have vista running in order to use the vista version of yahoo messenger.

    was windows media player. i'm a music lover and i turn on wmp everytime i work on this pc. but
    whenever i turn on the router so i could connect using dsl, the sound become choppy and plays slow.

    PC Randomly Crashes And Hangs, Ideas? (16)
    I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,
    and all inputs and outputs were cut. The monitor displayed "No Signal", the keyboard and mouse
    stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
    spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
    as I am aware. In an attempt to remedy the problem I have moved the computer into a more open area
    to try and improve air flow, as I belive the problem is overheating or lack of air c....
