Many European countries do not have chat rooms in their country specific version of Yahoo Messenger.
But you can instead install the US version of Yahoo Messenger to get chat rooms if you so wish. You would need to completely uninstall the version you are using now.
COMPLETE UNINSTALL OF YAHOO MESSENGER
Please note that doing a clean uninstall of Yahoo Messenger will erase your message archives so read here about how to copy them http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger8/messenger/mstacopyarchive.html
If you are using Vista and do not know the path then do a search from the start menu for your archives. They are saved in the format YahooID.dat for example if my Yahoo ID is true_colors, it would be true_colors.dat. And you can easily find the path from there.
First uninstall Yahoo! Messenger through add/remove programs.
If you want to do a total clean uninstall of Yahoo Messenger then also navigate to Program Files on your hard drive and delete the Messenger folder inside of the Yahoo Folder. Follow this path (XP): My Computer>>C: drive>>Program Files>>Yahoo>>Messenger. Reboot your computer (important!).
If you have a trusted registry scanner use it now. If you do not have a trusted registry scanner that you are familiar with than SKIP this step because you can screw your computer up if you do not know what you are doing. I personally use CCleaner but then I have been using it for years and know how to use the Registry scanner portion safely. Using any of these types of programs is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Make sure you know how to create a system restore point and backup any of the Registry files it changes. Computer novices should definitely skip this step.
It is important that now you reboot your computer. Now download and install Yahoo messenger again using the following link: Full Installer for Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2162
