    How about a little clue about what's not working......

    otherwise.....

    is it installed?

    have you pressed connect?

    is your firewall blocking?

    I think the first thing to try is to uninstall, then reinstall to see if that solves it.

    Let us know.

    All boot issues resolved so turned my attention back to installing yahoo messenger with the same result. Download from yahoo site and the setup gets to 99% and wont finishCrying

    Re: yahoo messenger

    Some things to try.. use run as administrator when starting the installation;
    install the software from an administrator account; turn off any
    security software before trying to install the messenger apps.
