Messenger Live and Yahoo

I have both Windows Messenger Live (most current build) and WML toolbar and
Yahoo Messenger (most current build) and YM Toolbar.

Do these currently have problems working together? I do not have either
messenger set to log on automatically, but they do log onto toolbars.
Sometimes I have Internet Explorer freeze with it is starting. As long as I
start Internet Explorer by having WLM dial the internet (click on sign in)
everything seems to work OK. There are 2 buttons on toolbar that go to the
same page. One says Go To MSN the other says Go To My MSN. Both start the
MSN.com page where I can log onto My MSN. Are the buttons working properly?
I unchecked the My MSN button from the options menu in toolbar.

Please advise on what I should have loaded so it works together properly.
Do I need to uninstall one of the Messengers and Toolbars?

Greetings,

They should all work together actually. However, the more toolbars and other functionality
you've added to IE can cause freezes and similar behavior.

I think that too many toolbars are causing my problems. I have uninstalled
all the toolbars and I am going to reinstall Messenger Live. Can I use the
original downloaded file I used before or should I delete it an redownload?
