I also have YM 7.5.0.333 running here on XP(Home)-SP2 with no problems whatsoever. (And I’m a “heavy user”!)

(In fact – before I read that it was for XP and up – I installed it easily on my W98SE PC, and ran it there with no problem too!! 😉 )

I installed 7.5 and switched back to 7.0 437 because the beta did not have a Net2Phone tab. I use that to make calls at only 2 cents a minute to any phone in the US

Something really strange happened. I added a new list to my Yahoo Address Book and Y! Messenger 7.5 crashed. Other than that I dont seem to experience any problems so far.

But…. my 7.5.0.333 lets me sign up direct to Yahoo (no Net2Phone) involved, and call USA for just US1c/min !

Details here from Yahoo, and also my own site here has info on this AND 2 or 3 other neat new features in the Beta (e.g. Contact Search)

I usually sign in under invisible mode, but many a times BETA changes my status to available :(. Is it just a status change bug or my messenger is trying to disconnect and reconnect again ?

I have MSN running parallely, I dont find any disconnection there. So the problem is not with my connection getting disconnected and reconnected.

Is anyone experiencing a similar problem?

no i have absolutely no issues with 7.5 beta

Perhaps do a full reinstall and see if problem persists.

As long as 7.5 doesnt allow me to use my computer to call phones, I’ll stick with 7.0 and use Net2Phone

i believe there are many out there who are having problems with file/photo sharing, including me, and it’s a concensus that this is a yahoo problem. would anyone know if this problem was fixed in v 7.5?

To leoleoleo:
This is why you shouldn’t install things you aren’t sure of or that have no credible sources. I checked http://wwww.processlibrary.com and those two exe’s you posted aren’t found there. They do look a bit weird though. What type of spyware/adware checking program(s) do you use? Try using Ad-Aware and SpyBot as well as Microsoft Antispyware. All three together I’m sure you will find if there is anything malicious on your pc. Also run a virus scan.

As for posting a new topic, look on the upper left corner as well as the bottom left of a forum section and you will find a button that looks like this

Hiya, LLL.
I once found similar(!??) files on my PC, which no amount of googling could find any reference to.
I seem to remember I discovered or concluded they WERE indeed spyware/virus type things, but with randomly generated filenames (hence lack of finding reference to them).
With some nervous hesitance I simply deleted them, and have indeed lived to tell the tale!

It seems there’s a new Beta available, replacing 7.5.0.333 I guess.

I don’t know it the normal Yahoo site now offers this one (they never TELL you what version you’re getting… till you’ve GOT it 😡 ) …
… but I’m getting mine from HERE. 🙂

I’ve just downloaded the BETA version and mine is 7.5.0.647 I dont know why some are able to download one version and others arent…
Anyway it looks good,havent tried it yet but i will tonight,hopefully it’ll work better with voice and file transfer and everything else,cause i expect evolution not involution…
The thing that i dont understand though is WHY DO I HAVE ADS ON MY YAHOO MESSENGER???Yes they’re Yahoo related ads but **** IT!It takes space in the window and just bugges me.Why did they have to spoil this??I’m already looking for some kind of ad remover or something…hopefully i’ll find one 🙁

Hi Strig. 😀
Yeah, the Beta from the official YM site WAS 7.5.0.333 till about 10 days ago, when it changed to 7.5.0.647. I updated, but see no difference at all in those 2.

I get quite lost with Yahoo these days – I suspect people see different options etc on various pages depending on what country they’re in – which makes life RIDICULOUS for trying to exchange info with others.
I dunno, maybe some countries still don’t get access to ANY Beta ?

As for ADS – hey man, have you seen MSN, or AIM, or PalTalk !?? This tiny ad box that YM uses now is NOTHING compared with them!!
Anyway, be PLEASED they’ve added adverts – it means they stay in business, and can still offer YM free. Well, I’m pleased anyway! 😉

BTW, I think they goofed a bit. The ads are at the BOTTOM, so by adjusting window position you CAN remove them from sight. I figure “smart” programs put ads at TOP, so people CAN’T avoid them. (I’m sure YM will catch on there before long 🙁 😉 )
