oops haha,forgot to say its the plug-in that will allow me to use the Contact Us link in websites. I found when i tried to use the contact us button on websites as message would pop up that said i needed the plug-in which made those links work. It was missing anyway lol.
Have i explained it ok? Bet iv posted this in the wrong place on here now (cringe!)

Hi Willowmoons,

An easy way of getting your "run" box in Vista, is to press the Windows key + R on your keyboard. But if you would like to be able to see your "run" permanently afixed to your Start Menu, then follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the Start menu and choose Properties;
2. Select the Start Menu tab, then click on the Customize... button;
3. Ensure the "Run command" option is checked.

Hope that will help

Hi there,
hope someone can help me. When im on a web site and it has the Contact Us link i get this message pop up when i click on it 'error loading' C:\program~1\Yahoo!\Common\YMMAPI.dll
'the specified module could not be found'.

I did download this program but it doesnt work.
Im on Windows Vista and my laptop is only 13 months old.

Hi, wot do you mean?

He means you already have a thread about these issues - I will merge them into one for you.

Edit: Done

YMMAPI.dll is a part of Yahoo Messenger and it allows non client based yahoo mail (online) to be your default mail application for websites.


I would suggest you uninstall the module you installed earlier completely, then install Yahoo Messenger if you don't have it (if you do then uninstall that completely too, including folders/registry entries, and re-install)
