Removal of Yahoo Messenger completely

I'm trying to remove Yahoo Messenger completely from my computer.  I thought that I had made and deleted from the Recycle Bin, but it continues to be a small icon on the right-hand side of the bottom of my computer screen, right next to the McAfee, Intel graphics card icon icon, etc.  How can I get this program and its icon, completely removed from my pc?

Hello Marine1,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

How have you tried to delete? Looks like you have deleted the icon for it?

Have you tried to go to programs and features?

-Click on Start Orb > click Control Panel > click on programs and features

Select the program, and then click on uninstall at the top of the list.

Hope this helps Chris.H

  • Removal of blackBerry Smartphones Yahoo Messenger

    Hello all, I no longer use Yahoo messenger and it seems that I deleted the application. The only thing is the icon is still on my home screen and lights up as it still works. When I select a browser window opens for the option to download. I don't see an option to remove this icon. The device has been reset when the uninstall is complete and I tried a battery pull. The program is not in the Application Center folder or the list of applications in options. I would like that it went completely.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    What you see is just the icon of the shortcut to install. It is placed through a directory of services driven by your carrier. If you delete the corresponding service book, the icon will disappear and reappear when the service book is pushed again...

    So, the best advice is to hide. Menu > hide.  They take up very little storage space, don't worry about this.

    Despite my constant removal of Yahoo in all search preferences, it keeps returning automatically to my defaul for Firefox search. Help, please! I hate Yahoo!

    On Mac, this most commonly seems to be caused by Spigot or pipe modules, or something else that snuck in without being detected with other software that you downloaded.

    Please try to disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CMD + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete). Especially if you find something called SearchMe.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Is that what helps you regain control?

  • Satellite A200-J01: problems with Chicony webcam with Yahoo messenger and MSN

    Dear friends

    I just bought a Satellite A200-J01 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium pre-installed on it. My problem is when I want to use my webcam (Chicony USB built-in 2.00) to have a video call with MSN and Yahoo messenger Internet, suddenly, it stops working and it shows a message that the webcam is not connected and no webcam was found on your computer.

    And then when I log out Yahoo messenger, come out of her and run Camera Assistant Software it shows this message "Locked by another application" Although there is no other applications running.

    The problem remains, unless I restart the computer. I read all the topics and messages as in my case in this site, but none of them helped me. I want to know if someone has encountered this problem, if this chicony webcam is compatible with yahoo and msn messenger and finally what I can do about it.

    Hello

    What about software chicory and the driver update?
    Please check if the software most recent is available and has been released. If so, remove it the old an and after reboot the new install the most recent version of this software chicony.

    It seems that similar problems appear on laptops from different manufacturers that use the Chicony webcam.
    Everything looks like the chicony Vista software is not 100% compatible with MSN, yahoo Messenger, Skype etc programs.

  • start-up: how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing

    want to know how to stop my yahoo messenger and windows messenger from starting when signing.

    It is always better to stop programs from starting with Windows from the programs themselves, so look in their choices first. There may be an entry in your start > programs > startup folder which can simply be removed. If a program does not offer a way to control the start-up of its preferences, use msconfig to clear the check box next to its name, apply and OK on. Also take a look in your programs > startup folder to see if there is an entry for the application it.

    Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Usually, it will be blocked by Windows Defender, and you need to allow it to run so that you can then check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use Services and stop all services, unless you really, really know what you're doing.

    The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

  • Yahoo messenger display seems strange

    When I install yahoo messenger (10 in this case), my screen pixelises and the colors go all strange... as in SafeMode... everything works ok but very bad color & photo

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers. Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you need to do for your video card and your monitor at least and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    Make sure you are completely up to date on updates of Windows Vista - can be treated a fix for this problem.

    Try to select a different theme of the video and see if the same problem occurs.  If this is not the case, there may be a problem with the help of this theme with Yahoo Messenger.

    Uninstall Yahoo Messenger and see if your video returns to normal.  Then try to reinstall again and see if the problem comes back (it may have simply been a problem with this particular facility).  If she comes back, go to the next step.

    Try contacting the Support of Yahoo to the:http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger10/index.html.  I can't direct you to the site for specific contact because you must be a member to get there and I'm not - but she should leave you and then you should be able to talk with someone (maybe by phone, maybe by chat or forum - I don't know what options are available).  They may have an answer to your problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • BlackBerry App BB Q10 Yahoo Messenger showing all contacts as offline

    Last week when logging in I left work, I noticed that all my contacts are offline, a few minutes before I had been chatting to some of these contacts by using my mobile version of Yahoo Messenger.

    I tried to see if there's something I did which could affect my phone by not, have not changed a single thing about it.

    In order to solve the problem I have:

    1 restarted my phone, as well by removing the battery and cutting, it.

    2 deleted and reinstalled Yahoo

    3. delete the app, restarted my phone yahoo then reinstalled

    4. change of password

    Help, please! I really need this app works as I use it a lot in the work.

    I was looking through the topics similar and tried as much as I can think of, but nothing seems to help.

    Thanks in advance,

    According to critics of the app in the BlackBerry World, this seems to be a lot of people is a problem. It is not as obvious in the Android version of the app. If you do not want to load the Android version for your phone, follow the steps described here and you will be up and running in no time. I have a few Android apps on my Z30 and they work like a charm.

    Here are the instructions to do this:

  • BlackBerry smartphones where can suggest us new things for Yahoo Messenger and other RIM IM clients?

    I just downloaded the new version of Yahoo Messenger and I like the user interface. But whenever a new version comes out, this application creates a less complete story of contact behavior. There are several versions the contact's status appeared in the open conversation, as well as of the timestamp, the date on which the status. This includes Idle and Custom state changes. Who has disappeared. In the latest version, we could see the time the contact signed in or out last and sometimes both. Now they are gone as soon as you close the conversation.

    The idea of having Yahoo until on the BlackBerry all the time, it's that you don't have to be staring at the screen all the time, you should be able to come out of your pocket and find the events that took place that does not trigger alarms. I would like to that story all contact to be there, as long as I want to keep active. How can I make this suggestion to RIM for the next version of Yahoo Messenger? Thank you.
