Can't see text on Yahoo Messenger

Thanks - Yahoo is now fun again!!!

Like Everyone else, just joined in to say a big "THANK YOU" - I've been through this for over a year now...since purchasing my new laptop, I upgraded from Yahoo 9, 10 and now 11 Beta. Tried EVERYTHING else from every suggestion possible. This one clearly worked.

Thanks alot man. Anytime you're in Barbados, you must let me buy you a beer or two. Thanks again

Just registered and login to say thank you. Although I didn't see any new zone in my IE9, I still found strange registry key, and after deleting it, my life came back

Thanks again!

thanks

Thanks.. this is really a great help for me. my Yahoo started working now after a couple of months..

Some virus can cause this bug in Yahoo Messenger. Check your Internet Options, go to Security Tab, and see if there is a new item. Normal items there are Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted sites, and Restricted sites. If you see a new item, chances are you were hit by a virus.

To resolve this, open a registry editor (click Start, click Run. On the Open box, type: regedit and then press Enter). Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft\ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones

There should only be 5 items there, numbered 0 to 4. If you see a different one, especially if you see items that shows up as box, try deleting it. (Backup your registry first). If you were able to delete that extra item, this might fix the bug, and you will be able to see the chat messages again in yahoo messenger.

join to say THANK YOU!!!

same as everyone here...
woah dude, i NEARLY reinstal my windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you really save my precious time dude!!
thx so much!!


my problem is NOT ONLY yahoo mesengger. this stup*d f*cking bug/virus is make my Autodesk Maya 2010/2011 Activation ERROR!!! because i can't see anything in it.
just as i though, the problem of my Maya Activation is same as the problem that YM text dissapear! and now i can instal maya, and can chat with my friend again.

really thank you!!!!!!!!!!

can`t see text on msgr!

i had that problem! and i did all that think with the regedit! + one thing i created a new user on the system and from that user it worked! oh and a reboot

Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks been having this problem for days I'm so glad this was here!

None of this works for me!

My Y! Messenger 10 US works correctly the first time upon installing. However, if I close it and open it a second time, I cant see the text in the instant message windows and the process hangs hogging 50% of the CPU resource and has to be killed from the task manager. If I uninstall the messenger from program features and then download and re-install it . I can again get it to work correctly for the first time but have the same result as above the second time onwards.

I suspected it to be virus like behaviour and ran Malwarebytes and Housecall. Both found some trojan ware, 3 and 7 respectively( quite normal for a PC used heavily for internet browsing) which I cleaned. However, it made no difference. I have re-installed java and made sure ie9 settings allow safe activex scripts to run. I do not have any extra internet zones in the registry just 0,1,2,3,4

At this point I am at a loss to know my next step. Please help!

thank you

this really works! i log in and create an account to say thanks a lot!

hi buddy,
youre solution is awesome..it work for me..x 100.

Hi! Guys. I'm not expert in computer. though I'm really Glad to help. thank you for the nice things I read from your post. also for those individual that I haven't replied on, MY BAD, sorry... its just that I don't know how to get back on this thread, fortunately some sort of force of nature (finding it again).
The same thing with you guys before I was just looking for this kind of Solution for the same problem that we encountered, tried many things for the same situation. ending up into the right thread, and returning the favor.
With that, Just so you know. I'm studying again for my 2nd course (Information technology) computer programming. I'm a Freshman again. hehehe. So Hope to see you soon, and Wish me luck with my new Endeavor. See you again soon. GOD BLESS.

in addition, I like playing with Registry Key sometime, though I research first in forums or what not, before I change or remove something, then again be Careful, it might ruin your system.
though sometimes when I encounter viruses, I'll check first my antivirus data base, and really find out what kind of viruses, malware, trojan (what not) that hit my pc. as soon as I know... Click start, type regedit, you'll see my computer then leftclick it once to highlight, click Edit or CTRL + F, you'll see find what. type the name of the VIRUS. then DELETE. press F3 to search automatically, all over again. though there are Viruses that can be deleted by doing safe mode, or in the MSCONFIG startup by disable the process.
and there are viruses that I have to Reformat my PC (hehehe) like I said. im not a JEDI in computer.

Reminder DONT PLAY WITH REGEDIT. do research first.
