KS: How can I restore my previous messages from the latest version of yahoo messenger?
I forgot what version of yahoo messenger I had. But due to some computer problem, I deleted yahoo messenger and reinstalled. Now I noticed that all my messages that I saved were not there in archive anymore. Can I restore them? Some of them were very important messages.

They should have been waiting for you along with all your contacts. I suggest you re-install the Messenger software.
The later version of 9 has improved log in software ( according to Yahoo ) The problems you are experiencing are due to software conflicts. If you have “Speedbit video accelerator” installed for Youtube you need to uninstall it as it has known conflicts with Yahoo.
Sounds like you may have tried to download without clearing out your browser or failed to check the Messenger folder was empty before uploading your new messenger.
When downloading/uploading close all other programs.
I suggest you download and run ccleaner first before you proceed further. Run it through a couple of times – include “registry” from the left hand toolbar. Do not be alarmed at the amount of files you have to delete, especially if you do not clear it on a regular basis.
Use this path to uninstall and remove the old messenger software.
> Start > computer > local disc (C) > program files > yahoo > messenger > UNWISE.
UNWISE is the command that starts uninstall. Make sure the old Messenger folder is clean before downloading – I run messenger 9 with no problems although I read here its “full of bugs”. That’s because its not been installed cleanly. Yahoo tell us its the best one to operate behind a firewall.
Check in the Messenger folder after uninstalling to make sure no fragments of software remain that will create conflicts with the new software.
