About two weeks ago I downloaded the newest Yahoo Messenger 9 beta version. During the installation process, it froze and I had to close the program. Later, my computer slowed to a standstill and I OPENED the Task Manager and looked at the processes. Yahoo Messenger was on there and using between 97 and 100% of the CPU. I clicked End Process on Yahoo Messenger and the computer returned to NORMAL operation.
I then tried to uninstall Yahoo Messenger on the Add/Remove programs in the control panel. When I clicked on it, an error message appeared saying,"Could not open INSTALL.LOG file." So I then went into the Yahoo Messenger program file and could not FIND any folder that said uninstall or install. All I found was a folder that said "UNWISE," and when I clicked on it the exact same error message reappeared.
I WANT to uninstall this program desperately because every time I start my computer now I have to end that process. Please help.
I have a Dell that runs Windows XP.I would reinstall Yahoo 9 Beta again. This way it will install all the uninstall files and you will be able to remove the messenger from your computer properly and safely.Never install beta on main computer.Good One Broni !Quote
