Since version 9.0.0.2018, however, it requires modification of the EXE file. As for the updater, I just delete the YUpdate.exe file located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Yahoo!\YUpdate. Hi RK

Because I feel that modification might cause some other problems. Any suggestions here.

I see there are a total of 3 yahoo IDs which I am using them, none of the IDs that seem to be "unknown" to me. So at this point, what should I do next? If it is ok, can I chat yahoo with you so that we don't have to use this much of space here? I'm afraid it maybe annoying to some other people. Thanks. Hi,

and, although it makes no sense that it has anything to do with the number of IDs you have, it does – lol

Start menu – Run command
type in “regedit” (without the quotation marks)
and click OK

navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\profiles

the thing is, it keeps track of IDs you enter, including typo errors, even if you do not successfully sign in

i bet you will be surprised to see how many funny-looking IDs you have in your list

But this one has nothing to do with the yahoo IDs. Let me make it clear, maybe I did not make it clear to you at first. Let say that when I sign in to my yahoo ID, I have a list of contact friends. I double click on one of my friend in the list and a chat window pop-up in wide view (for example like LCD widescreen 16:9 view) so i resize it to my like. Then, I minimize this chat window down to my taskbar then re-open it, the chat window somehow resize back to its wide screen again. I hate to resize everytime, so is there any way to lock it so that it won't resize automatically? Thanks buddy :) I'm running windows XP professional version.

The chat window is kinda wide, so I resize to my liking but when I minimize that chat window down or close it. When I re-open it up, it is back to wide window again and I have to resize it. I don't have that kind of problem with older version 7. How come it doesn't save the UI settings, do you know? Is there any way I can fix this kind of problem? Thanks dedndave.

I tried like you said but it did not work. I checked everything make sure nothing is running (ctrl+alt+del). When I double clicked on the "Run_Once.bat" file, a black MS-Dos screen popup with the msg "Enter any key to continue..." then I hit enter, the black screen disappeared. I then tried to re-open the yahoo program. I still see the ads running at the bottom of the program like normal, nothing is removed :( Please help. Thank you again, dedndave. Hi dedndave:

I used to live out in the desert at the end of a very famous old mining road. Behind my house was a mountain with remnants of the old mine. So, I was at the dead-end of the road, hence the nickname, Dead-End Dave. Quite often, when I would get home from work, there would be TV's and computers and VCR's and all kinds of other stuff piled up on my porch. People out there had noone else to turn to to get things fixed. I didn't mind, at first. But, it got rather annoying after a while. I used to tell everyone, "The road to hell ends at my doorstep". Now, as for your problem with version 8. I do not patch the version 8 exe files, as there is no need to. In fact, the ads are much easier to get rid of for all versions prior to 9. If you have version 8.0.0.421 installed, sign in as an administrative user and make sure yahoo messenger is closed. Use Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Task Manager and verify no programs are running starting with the letter "Y". If there are, use the Task Manager to terminate them. If the patch still fails to run, it may be because the YahooMessenger program is not located in C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger. Let me know how it goes and we will get it working. (Actually, I am considering going back to that version - it is the best one, i think) hiya Tommy,
