How to Install the Older Version of Yahoo Messenger
Yahoo! Messenger, one of the most popular instant messengers on the Internet, is constantly updated with new additions and patches coming out every few months or so. However, you may find that a newer version is not working properly with your computer, or you may wish to simply downgrade and install an older version of Yahoo! Messenger. The Yahoo! website does not provide dated versions, but you can find them elsewhere.
