How to Install Yahoo Messenger for Windows 2000
- 1). Download either the latest version of Yahoo Messenger or an older version. (See Resources.) If you aren't interested in the latest frills--such as better emoticons, stealth mode and larger file share sizes--you can download a less memory-intensive or older version. Choose version 5.0 or higher for best results.
- 2). Double-click the installation file you downloaded to begin the installation.
- 3). Close any older versions of Yahoo Messenger you may have running. This will only be necessary if you are upgrading to a new version. Click "Next."
- 4). Click "I Accept" to accept the user agreement. Choose "Next" to install in the default location, or click "Browse" to choose another installation location.
- 5). Click "Next" to install. Click "Finish" when the installation is complete.
