Yahoo messenger & taskbar icons

I've installed yahoo messenger on my ME os. when i minimize or close out the messenger, all my icons in my open program taskbar go invisible if my pointer crosses the area.
The programs are still open, and the only way i know where they are is from the text that appears when the pointer is on them. the only thing that stays on is the clock.
What's that about???? Any remedies?

 

Hi bobmagz
So sorry you've not got a reply. Have you made any headway in solving this? Can you give us a little more detail and some system specs?

Try a search or sign up and post your question in this forum There is a section devoted to chat and the people here seem to know more about yahoo messenger than yahoo does.

If you took the update offered by yahoo when logging in, this update is not stable. You might need to uninstall yahoo messenger, and delete the files/folders left behind. The latest stable version of Yahoo! messenger is here

Will I ever post without a typo?

 

I've uninstalled and reinstalled using the link you provided, and i think maybe that did the trick...

Thank-you for your help...

 

well, when i rebooted, the problem returned. so...back to the drawing board...i'll try to post my problem at the site you referred me to and see if they have any answers

Thanks anyway...
