Log in and log out of your yahoo account, close your internet and clean out your web history and cookies, It could be your registry, Get a registry cleaner and clean your registry.

if the other answer is correct u should download CCleaner and that will clean all ur cookies, history, etc.. i use it almost everyday and it should work ( if the other answer is correct )

and yes registry will be deleted too

Yes, seriously. Because YA is NOT a chat forum. YA is knowledge exchange forum with a strict question - answer format, NOT a question - answer - reply format. That's WHY there are NO "Respond or "Reply" buttons ANYWHERE on YA. IF you want to respond you can, but you HAVE EMAIL another YA community member, YOU DO NOT NEED an email address because we ALL have email address on on THE same computer servers. You do have to enable YOUR email to and form other YA community members, because Yahoo has turned that off by default because so many people sent abusive or threatening emails to other YA community members.

Please use the Yahoo Help pages to find out how to enable your email to and from other YA community members, or you can open my profile and look at my last answer to the question before yours. .

"...Chatting or otherwise violating the question-and-answer format.

Yahoo! Answers is a community of questions and answers, not a chat room. If a post is neither a question nor an answer, it doesn't belong here. If you’re looking for a place to chat with others, try Yahoo! Groups or Yahoo! Messenger Chat Rooms. Read more..."

There is no 'reply' option.

This is a question/answer site. NOT a chat room, not a social-networking site, not a discussion forum.

You ask. Or you answer. You can reopen the question using the 'edit' function (pencil icon) below the question to 'Add Details' ... but only to clarify the question itself for all who have answered or may answer. If you use this feature to respond to others who have answered, and especially if you direct comments to others by or @username ... that's 'chatting', which will very likely be reported for violating the Y!A community guidelines.

You don't directly. YA is not a chat room or Facebook. You have two options:

1. E-mail or IM the user through their profile.

2. Wait until you pick the BA and add comments for each user. Probably only the Best Answer will see it since they only get a notification.

The ONLY exception is that you can add additional details to your question (little pencil icon) for clarification of the question. Do not call users by name doing this or it will be deemed chat.

Because this isn't a discussion forum. YA is specifically for getting an answer to your question.
They did this to avoid debates, flame wars and pissing matches.
If you're asking the types of questions that require more discussion, or spark debates, then you may be in the wrong place.
Ask a question, get an answer, move on.
