MemberHello all! Glad to be a a part of the site…I had one of the older versions of yahoo messenger..several days ago it crashed.. I have deleted it from my computer and all files and downloaded Yahoo Messenger again… I have also deleted Macromedia flash player and re downloaded it.. When i try to download messenger again, it downloads fine.. When i try to log in.. it crashes still…even the the New Yahoo Messenger with Voice.. Can anyone tell me what the problem is.. Only thing i can get to work is Yahoo web messenger..
Thanks

MemberWelcome WattJo – glad to have you here 🙂
I’m not sure, but your mention of FlashPlayer reminds me of a recent post where someone using Firefox browser had a problem there (which would not apply to I.E. users). So – do u use FF ?

MemberThanks for the welcome.. Yes I use Firefox..

MemberOh.. you put me on the spot! I’ve searched but can’t find the post I’m sure I’d seen.
Vaguely from memory … someone with Firefox, and latest Flash, had YM troubles, but solved them by installing the IE version of Flash instead !?
Dunno if that helps, WJ, or even makes sense – could well be a red herring anyway.
But hopefully other ideas will follow here.February 11, 2006 at 7:26 pm #138135WattJo
MemberI will try that sir! Thanks very much !!

ParticipantDo you use Windowblinds or any sort of skinning app to change the appearance of Windows? These have been known to have problems with Yahoo.

MemberThanks for your question Amy.. No i do not use skins at all..

MemberOOPS!? I wasn’t thinking of anything quite as drastic, but hey, whatever works for you if you’re happy with it. 😉
As for Trillian, THIS area is just for Yahoo – I suggest you go to the “FORUMS” main page then scroll down to “Trillian Support” section and post in there.
(I wonder too, does Trillian work for you for any other IM, i.e. MSN, AIM, or ICQ ?)
