You may have the Avpo Virus which is popular with Yahoo Messenger.

Try this first. Right click a blank part of the Taskbar and select Task Manager and select the Processes Tab.

Right Click on Explorer.exe and click End Process Tree. Explorer will disappear and it should come back in a couple of seconds, if not click the Applications Tab and click New Task. Type explorer.exe and click ok.

When the taskbar comes back try Yahoo again.

If Yahoo works, you probably have the virus, so follow These Steps to remove it.
