Error 502

gulfvis · Jan 29, 2008

When signing onto Yahoo Messenger,Windows Live Messenger or AIM I get and error box "application could not load" Error 502. The messengers will then start after about 15secs. These are the only error messages I recieve. I am running WINXP SP2.
Any ideas on how to fix this error? Thanks

I found this on fixing the error.

Resolving 502 errors - general
This problem is due to poor IP communication between back-end computers, possibly including the Web server at the site you are trying to visit. Before analysing this problem, you should clear your browser cache completely.
If you are surfing the Web and see this problem for all Web sites you try to visit, then either 1) your ISP has a major equipment failure/overload or 2) there is something wrong with your internal Internet connection e.g. your firewall is not functioning correctly. In the first case, only your ISP can help you. In the second case, you need to fix whatever it is that is preventing you reaching the Internet.

Hi

Just a question at this moment for you as some error 502s are due to you being behind a proxy, so are you on a corporate/university network?

This is a home computer. I am on cable broadband service.

I have cleared my browser cache,uninstalled and reinstalled the messengers, and checked registry for errors. After uninstalling AIM and Windows Live Messenger, I no longer get the Error 502 alert when opening Yahoo Messenger. I do not get any error alert when visiting other sites on the web,only when I try to use the above messengers.
