Yahoo messenger 9 beta doesn't work properly. In fact it never works. Whenever i click any button it crashes. Even when i try to report a bug it crashes. Is anyone else also facing same problem.

Actually BETA does not always work properly and that's why it is named BETA :D
BTW it is working fine in my pc on XP but it does hang on Vista. That's why I use YM for Vista there.
Please let us know which OS are u using ?

Then you have some problem with Yahoo! products in your PC. Try Pidgin. ;)

Isn't that more of a "workaround" rather than a solution??:confused:

Could you maybe try removing ALL traces of Yahoo Messenger from your PC(including registry) and then download/reinstall a stable version of Yahoo messenger(non BETA)?;)
