I came across this exchange:


>> Uninstall all of the yahoo stuff that installed along with Messenger, as
>> well as messenger itself. do a custom install and deselect all extras.
>> don't have any other programs running when u run the install. I had the
>> very same problem about 3 months ago. Messenger works flawlessly for me
>> since I installed it "bare". All of its features work fine--voice,
>> webcam, file transfer, photo sharing and conferences. What happened is
>> your install went "kaflooey" (a highly techinical term. )
