Messenger Skin?

Installed Messenger 8 and can't change the Skin. I've tried changing it in two ways and neither have worked. First I tried clicking Messenger--%26gt;Change Skin (that method didn't work). Second I tried clicking Messenger--%26gt;Preference--%26gt;Appearence--%26gt;Ch... Skin (this also failed to work). And yes I've restarted both Messenger and my PC. Please is there anything else I can do to try to change the skin.

Messenger Skin?
As you have tried everything but failed, now you can uninstall the messenger and reinstall it (after rebooting).


I hope this time it will work for you.
Reply:i have the exact same problem...uninstalling does not help. i do not have any enchancement program like Blinds ause i use windows 98


any other possible solutions?? Report It

Reply:kins come with the download of the Yahoo Messenger and can find it as follows.


.If you go to your messenger, then Messenger %26gt;%26gt;Preferences %26gt;%26gt;Appearance %26gt;%26gt;Messenger Interface Style and click on Change Skins button,





You can download a new skin from:


<>http://messenger.yahoo.com/feat_skins.ph...





Also the files for the skins are located at this folder:


c:\program files\yahoo!\Shared\Graphics\


This folder may change depending on installation folder and locale settings.





This also helps.


Go for removal of history of items on your search bar


On the right side of the bar before you get to the web search button click on the bar (you may have to click it a few times) will open a drop down box that will bring you at the front of items you searched for.


Place your mouse pointer over the first item and you will see it highlight. Do not click the item just leave your mouse where it is and hit the delete button on your keyboard. The item will vanish and the next will take its place and become highlighted. Just keep hitting the delete button and watch them go away.


This will work for any browser.


To delete address bar history, follow this path. Tools%26gt; internet options%26gt; general %26gt; clear history %26gt; set the number of days to zero%26gt; ok.





Are you using window blinds or alien guise or some other window enhancement program? e.g. programs that add extra buttons like transparency and keep always on top or change the look of the windows in anyway (not including standard XP themes)


if so disable it and yahoo should work..


Do a search on <>http://www.wackyb.com%26gt; for window blinds





This is sometimes a flash issue, make sure you have download and installed flash from Internet explorer (not any other browser)
