| | Yahoo Messenger I have a new laptop with Vista and I downloaded yahoo messenger v.8.1 and everything went well. The problem came in after I opened a chat session with another person. The box opened, I typed in my message, after selecting send or enter, nothing shows up in the box. You can see at the bottom where it says the other person is typing a message but again nothing is showing up. No conversation at all. I went under the properties and select the enabling scripting, still did not work. I selected it again and re-booted but the same results. Can someone tell me whatelse I should try? |

| | Re: Yahoo Messenger I tried to download it and it failed. I read on another post that says the Vista version will be released june 2007. I guess that hasn't happened yet.

I had the very same problem about 3 months ago. Messenger works flawlessly for me since I installed it "bare". All of its features work fine--voice, webcam, file transfer, photo sharing and conferences. What happened is your install went "kaflooey" (a highly techinical term. )Dave |
