Few weeks back i wrote about 10 reasons not to upgrade to Windows 7. That article led to some good comments both in favor and against windows 7. One of the reasons as i said in that article too for not upgrading to Windows 7 is the compatibility issues with different applications.
So why i am talking about this here? Well, my Yahoo messenger kept on stop working and exiting in Windows 7. Though right now i am on 64 bit of Windows 7 , i know this happened with 32 bit version too. Still everything doesnt work perfectly on windows 7 just as it does in windows XP.
So after doing a bit of googling and help of Windows 7 own “finding solution widget”, the problem found was related to flash player. It seems the issue was with some latest version of adobe flash player being not installed on my system, but i have already ver 10 on my system. Anyway i had to uninstall and install it back again. Here’s the step by step solution.

ok i know this sounds crazy but i was have the same problem about the yahoo messenger not working with my windows 7. All you have to do is factory default your computer and let it go back to the original settings in which it was bought and download the yahoo messenger again. and the problem will be fixed! Just contact your computer company and find out what button you need to push to do your factory default. I havent had a problem since iv done this.
