When i try to join a Yahoo! chat room, it says "you have been refused access". What's wrong?

Question

Hello!

When i sign into Yahoo! Messenger, and click join a chat room, it says i have been refused access. Why?

I'm 19, and it says that in my profile, i can't think of any reason why i should be denied access. Or "refused access". Please help me!

Generally when you get a denied access it's because the room is full, rooms have a max capacity of 50 so just try a different room.

Now if you try more rooms and you keep getting denied access then there may be something wrong with your messenger.

Then You need to uninstall messenger Completely so you can get rid of the corrupted file that is causing your problem and get a clean install.

Now when you uninstall not all of the yahoo messenger files are deleted from your Program Files, so if the problem you are having is caused by a corrupted file then the problem will still be there when you install it again.

So what you need to do is uninstall messenger then go to your Program files and delete the yahoo folder.

To uninstall you need to click on the Start button(the one on your task bar) then go to Control Panel then to Add/Remove Programs, find yahoo in the list and click on it then on uninstall.<< this is for XP

To uninstall in Vista click on start then Control Panel then on Uninstall a Program in the new window find yahoo click it to uninstall it.

To find and delete the Yahoo folder click on the start button in your task bar then on My Computer then C: drive then Program Files then right click on the Yahoo folder and Delete it. It's a good idea to reboot your PC now to make sure it's all gone out of your system.

Now you can go here > http://messenger.yahoo.com/ and get the 8.1 yahoo messenger.

I suggest staying away from the 9.0 beta as the 8.1 version is more stable and does not have the bugs the beta version has!
