I usually write in a language other than English. So when I change try to change the keyboard layout during the conversation, the messenger freezes and crashes. It happens quite often.
How do I fix it? Yahoo Messenger 9 crashes during the change of the keyboard layout?
Your answer is simular to the answer that I gave this person just take out the parts that dont pertain to your question and fill in the blanks where they do apply to your question. Any program problems can be remedied by following these few simple steps.
Go to your Start Menu and do a search for any Yahoo Messenger programs new or old and delete them completely out of your computer. Then use the Disk Clean up feature,you can find this by going to your Start Menu moving your cursor over to All Programs up to Accessories then to System Tools then to Disk Cleanup. Select all the boxes that apply and click OK it will prompt you Yes or No. Click Yes and wait for it to complete and it will go away.
Then you need to Defragment your hard drive or drives if you have more than one. You can do this by following the same way that I told you to go to the Disk Clean up and Disk Defragmenter is right under Disk Cleanup. Click Disk Defragmenter when the menu comes up click on one of your Hard Drive locations then click Analyze when it completes click Defragment.
This may take awhile depending how large your hard drive is and/or how long it has been since it has been defragmented. If you have alot of red lines among the blue and green lines then you are in desperate need of defragmenting. These two features if performed reguraly at least once a week depending on how much you use your computer,will move your files around to ultimately speed up your computer.
This seems alot to go through to get to where you need to be but trust me it will work. The same thing happened to me when I updated from 8.0 to 9.0 and this was the only solution for me. All this said and done. Do another Search for Yahoo Messenger on your hard drive to make sure that all remainders of Yahoo Messenger are deleted. Once that is done Reboot your computer then go to Yahoo search and download Yahoo Messenger 9.0 and you shouldn't have any more problems.
You can do this for any programs that you are having trouble with. This worked for me so it should correct your problem too. It seems like alot but it wont take very long to complete the task. Always remember to reboot after you make alot of changes to reset your computer. If you need any more advice hit me up!
