Yahoo Messenger

When I try to download Yahoo Messenger...it comes up with an error saying "Could not load the DLL Library. The specified module could not be found." How do I get Yahoo Messenger to download on my computer or get a DLL Library? :(

I ran into the same error when I upgraded my YIM - but this was a while back, so I'm a bit hazy on this. I believe I tried this:

1) Browse your way to the C:\Program Files\Yahoo! folder.

2) Find the Messenger folder and rename it Messenger.old or something like that.

3) Do the same for the Installs folder, but *re-create* the Installs folder again, so you'll have Installs and Installs.old and Installs will be empty.

4) Try downloading YIM again and that should work.

A dll is a dynamic link which is basically a file that helps execute the file. Write down what the name of the dll file is and post it here or email me and I will help you install or find that. This file is needed to run many programs.

I am so glad I found this site and hope you can help me. I too am having problems with this "Could not load the DLL library. The specified module could not be found." error message. Everything was fine until I attempted to download the lastest version of Yahoo messenger.

I tried to follow the directions that were given in a previous post. However, I must confess that I am not good at finding my way around the computer and don't understand much of the jargon.

Yahoo messenger has been my main vehicle for keeping in contact with my relatives and friends and now am unable to do it at all! I am pleading for help as I will be going into the hospital on Oct 4 for some major surgery and at this time, because of this error, I have no way to tell my family what is going on with my health.

Please...if you have patience and can instruct me in very basic terms, I would be so greatly appreciative for the help.

Please contact me at my email address: Lakota_Pride1876@yahoo.com and from there....will give you my phone number or will call you to save your phone bill or anything that needs to be done so that I can get this probelm solved as fast as possible.

I thank anyone who can help me in advance and look forward to speaking with you one way or the other.

Thank you for your gracious consideration.

Hey Ya'll I had to stop using my messenger at my home computer when I had my MSN running, they just wouldn't jive together, I am going to uninstall it and reinstall it again. I think it's the new version that is causing this. Who knows.

Good luck

I had the same problem. I emailed Yahoo about this and this is what they said.
They had me disable any nortons or internet security before downloading Yahoo messenger. (it was blocking it)
I had to make sure I removed any Yahoo I had on my PC. from Add and Remove and Start-My Computer-Local disk C-Program files and look for any Yahoo folder. Delete it!
Disable Nortons or any Security and go to download Yahoo Messenger. This worked for me. Good Luck!
