Angry Dumped because of virus laden machine.
Gentlemen and Ladies,

I signed on once too often to Yahoo Im using a virus corrupted machine. IM dumped my account (for good reason) and now is asking for a new account number and sign on. I have 13 years invested in using my old address. How do I get it restored and be back in the good graces of Yahoo IM?

The bothersome machine will be restored, cleansed as soon as the owner returns home from a temporary assignment out of town.

Sincerely,

Herman Whowho (Owl)

More than likely you'll have to email Yahoo directly, giving your username and what your story is.

What you can try, though is uninstall and reinstall Yahoo Messenger, and re-create your Yahoo account in the program (or whatever method you use to sign up to the Yahoo Messenger service).
