The simplest solution is to disable Ymessenger being invoked in the browser. Yahoo messenger is set up to sign off all but the most recent version to start. When you sign into yahoo, find the ymessenger in the browser and turn it off, then your yahoo client will work while you are signed in. Incidentally yahoo messenger does have a lot of extra overhead unless you use it for voice communications, you might want to consider one of the freebie multiple IM products like pidgin for the Mac. *************************************** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO ** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***************************************
