Re: Yahoo Messenger Pains

Yes, it is still working great... and I do not have that darn pop up from
Yahoo coming up, thanks goodness. The changing of the file yupdater.exe
WORKS!

Daniel,

can you check in the c:\program files\yahoo messenger

folder and look of a yupdater.exe
file? this is actualy what does the checking...

try renaming that to yupdater.exe.bak

and see if this solves the problem....

I have 8 beta so I am not sure if its the same...

Post back and tell me if it works..

thanks

Thanks for your thoughts. I tried looking in the many preferences
options, along with the many help links, and could not find anything
concerning this pop up. I even wrote a note to Yahoo. I guess when
something is FREE... you pretty much get what you pay for in customer
service :-)

I am sure that there is a way to turn this off in the settings of the
messenger...

look in there carefully

I don't know if this forum is the proper place to post my question...
BUT.... I 'm being
bugged by the Yahoo Messenger pop ups for me to upgrade to their new
version
7.5, or the Beta version 8. I'm running version 6 right now, and I'm
pretty
happy with it. The last time this happened, I could not turn off the
pop
ups and clicking on the "no thanks" button only works till the next
time you
sign on. Why can't one just use a simple version of Yahoo Messenger,
and
not "HAVE TO" upgrade all the time, with no choice in the matter. I
really
have no use for all the "bells and whistles" that Yahoo pushes.

What are my choices? - Trillian?
Thanks,
Dan
