I have been asking Yahoo for 5 months now and they ignore me.

This should be really easy: the DSP TrueSpeech codec doesn't ship with
Windows Vista. This isn't going to work without requiring a third party
download. It'd be really easy, I would think, for Yahoo to use a different
audio codec. Am I missing something? I'm sorry for any run-around you've
gotten.

Windows can't tell ya how to fix their stuff.....maybe we should all switch
to MAC or Linux..least their stuff is working.
