    Dont own a mac but...

    hey all im having some software problems with my Boss's Mac... she is trying to use Yahoo Messenger. however when she opens it up there is no liscense agreement..and then when it installs it freezes whenever she IM's someone.. it wont even allow her to type anything in the IM Window. im a PC user so this is all very foreign to me.. i told her to do a virex scan.. and she did. ntohing was found tho.


    Thanks for the help...

    ~Bullet.

    OK well the latest revision has been reported as having problems for sure, and Yahoo hasn't done much work on it in two years except minor tweaks. She may have to switch to iChat or other open source clients that connect to the yahoo network... Without being there in front of it, it's tough to know what's going on

    use fire.. im on an ibook right now and i use fire.. after trying the other standard clients for yahoo, msn and aim, i was so frustrated i wanted to shoot myself.. i found fire, and now im a bit happier.. only problem i find with it is that it is useless for file transfers and direct connect.. it just wont do it.

    Yeap definitly, I fell in love with that mighty duck, when I started editing video and subtituling films with a G4 at work... It's far away the best multi IM.
