A pop up blocker might cause Messenger to close / or report an error occured ... try holding down the control key before and while clicking the shortcut to start Messsenger ... untill it loads properly ... this also might be why messenger may report that the " plugins " failed to load so Messenger is in safe mode
STILL NOT WORKING ! ... try a custom uninstall ... go to control panel / add / remove programs icon and select Yahoo messenger / click add / remove button .... then choose ... CUSTOM ... when offered ...choose ... select all ... to each option until you reach finish ... version 8 and higher do a custom uninstall by default so this is not needed ... then select OPEN on this ...
