Yahoo Messenger 7.0 crashes when I try to enter a chat room.?

For a while now, I have used Yahoo Messenger 7.0 without many problems. Now, when I try to enter a chat room, Yahoo crashes, and sometimes I'll get another error message, "Internet Explorer Script Error". I can instant message and join a conference room, but attempts to enter chat rooms crashes Messenger. Recently, I've been getting script error messages when I try to enter a chat room, but it didn't keep me from entering chat, and Messenger didn't crash. It only meant that I wouldn't see every post and sometimes other chatters wouldn't see mine. I've tried to fix the problem by uninstalling, then reinstalling Yahoo Messenger. That didn't fix the problem. After that, I tried uninstalling, then manually deleting all remaining Yahoo files, but some files could not be deleted. I went ahead and reinstalled Messenger, but still can't enter chat. I've tried adjusting my firewall settings in my Norton, but to no avail. I have DSL, Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6, and Firefox. Any clues?

try this ,upgrade your java,too version, 1.5.0.10 or the latest , now also once you've up graded try enabling java script.
on IE6 tools/internet optionsenable java script.
Firefox/tools/options/advanced/tick java and also javascript close reboot computer . all should be good.

Hi,
I'm using newest version of Yahoo msngr.
The thing is, they will tell you to download or update msngr to the final version, but it won't solve the problem.
There is a glitch in the registy editor, so you will manually have to assign Webcam folder and add string and value.

Again, that won't solve the problem much. It might work some time and problems will reappear.

sorry, i have no clues to this problem, but I'll keep on trying until I solve it.

At this point, i'm so pissed at Yahoo techs for not posting any solutions...
