Hi Folks,
I'm new to messaging and can't get Yahoo Messenger (both YPager.exe and YMsgr.. the tray icon I guess) to execute with the Program Error (Yellow exclamation mark sign) message: (run as Administrator)
_____________________________________________________________
"YPager.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created"
_____________________________________________________________
- Restarting doesn't help
- Note: I don't know how to view the log.
- I have uninstalled Messenger and reinstalled it 3 times with the same result.
- Yahoo help is skimpy at best with this problem... at least I couldn't find a solution.
Environment:
- Windows 2000 Pro / SP4 running behind a NAT'd router
- MS-IE 6 fully patched
- AVG retail anti-virus (updated daily, run today)
- PopThis!
- Ad-aware SE Plus (updated daily, run today)
- Tiny Personal Firewall (Yahoo not restricted)
Security: (I allowed these to run during the Yahoo Messenger installation)
- IE/tools/Internet Options/Security/Custom Level settings
-- Scripts must be prompted
-- Active-X controls and plug-ins are prompted
-- Java Permissions are set to high safety
Recently run online virus/spyware hunters:
- BitDefender
- CA virusscan
- TrendMicro-Housecall
Recently run OS tools:
- HiJackThis 1.99 (latest)
- Silent Runners (latest)
Standard procedures:
1. %temp% dumped more than daily
2. C:\<username>\Documents and Settings\Temporary Internet Files dumped more than daily
3. C:\<username>\Documents and Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\*. (directories, not files) dumped at the same time as #2
Don't know where to go next! Thanks
