I'm back "home" in Wisconsin for the week, and I'm trying to help my aunt set up Yahoo Messenger on her computer with a Vista operating system.

We were trying to download Yahoo Messenger for her computer, and it seemed "stuck" ... so, my question is simple: Is Yahoo Messenger & Vista compatible?

Thanks!

I don't know I use a Mac, but... Hi Sue!

Initially no, but I believe the latest build SHOULD work in vista

I just use Trillian and avoid all the individual scripts

I got it on my friends computer with vista. But I too am like Ian and use trillian for all my im's. I wish they would do the new version for linux though as I like astra.

Pidgin (formerly GAIM) is what I use

I been usin pidgin too for linux, i know you can use it for windows to but I like trillian better

Tried pidgin - didn't like it

Trillian > Pidgin

<- hasn't opened an IM client in years.

I feel the complete opposite ...

well knock me over with a feather.. what a bloomin surprise..

so true with so many things lol.

Hey right back atcha, David!

Unfortunately, my aunt is even more computer-illiterate than I am, so unless it's an easy fix, there's no fix for her!

In addition, the only people she chats with would be my dad and her sisters, and they are at the same level as she is--computer-illiterate! (But, given their ages, I'm as proud as heck that they've embraced the computer and Internet as much as they have!)

Now I have another situation ... but it will be for another topic.

Well, if you install Pidgin for her (or trillian) she can use one client for AIM, Yahoo, Jabber, ICQ, MSN, etc...
