Is there any way to log into yahoo messenger on two different computers with the same ID and have the messages display on both computers?

No, Yahoo will only allow one log on per ID.. If you are signed in and try to sign in again on anther computer, it will automatically log off the first pc you signed in on.

Ok thanks for the info. There aren’t any third party apps that will allow this? If I could get this to work, it would be perfect for my situation!

Nope, its part of the Yahoo protocol… currently, I believe only AIM has this feature.

Are there any special requirements for this on AIM? or can you do this from a fresh install?

Nope… nothing special in AIM.. you just sign on to it on both computers and any message will go to both (as long as one isnt set to away, if it is that one wont recieve the message)
