I saw a thread in one of the Vista newsgroups in the last week or two, at
least one of which had a post from a person who had a good experience with
this. Try GROUPS.google.com and paste the following into the search box:
yahoo messenger group:microsoft.public.windows.vista.*
Hopefully you will find some help.

I came across this exchange:
I searched again and found this info:

thank you Dave I just uninstalled the program and de-selected the extras
and
everything came up just fine. Thanks for your help.

Let us know if it works for you.
