Re: [Y!M] Re: Fw: Windows NT and "missing" codec

[Paul D.Smith]

Netti,   I finally did find some Yahoo directories last night (they didn't show up because they were "Yahoo!" and I didn't look for the exclamation mark).  I deleted these, and the registry entries (one was a "run ypager" but the ypager had been deleted).   Same problem with both v6 and v5.6 messenger.  I'll give v5.5 messenger a try too, just-in-case.   FYI, I'm finally convinced myself that the codec really is installed by creating a "DSP TrueSpeech" encoded file at work and then trying to listen to it at home.  With NT saying "use this codec" it works, but if I disable the codec, it doesn't.  So I have installed the correct codec ;-).   Anyway, thanks for the suggestions.  I'll have another try tonight!   Paul DS ----- Original Message ----- From: Netti To: Yahoo_Messenger@yahoogroups.com Sent: 06 April 2005 15:33 Subject: [Y!M] Re: Fw: Windows NT and "missing" codec Ok Paul, first.. If you have a yahoo folder, it would be located in C:/program files/yahoo Or whereever you put it if you changed where you wanted it to be d/l too. If you did change it, my suggestion is to put it in your c drive because then its easier to find the files you need. Secondly, YES yahoo is having big issues with Windows NT.  But d/l an older version should have taken care of this.  I would also try v. 5.5 1226. When you said you saw the file and it was there.. WHERE exactly did you see it?  It could be that the file is not in the correct directory and not registered, and therefore yahoo messenger can't find it. Please advise.
