After you download and install Yahoo! Messenger, you are ready to sign in to Yahoo.

First, locate the Yahoo! Messenger icon on your desktop or in your applications on your PC. Once the client has launched, you can enter your screenname in the first field labeled “Yahoo! ID”, then your password in the second field labeled “Password.” Press “Sign-In” to continue.

No Yahoo! ID? No Problem! If you are a new user, you can sign-up for a free Yahoo! Messenger ID by clicking the link labeled “Get a New Yahoo! ID…” This will allow you to register a new screenname immediately.
