Netti,
v5.5 sort of works - at least enough for what I
needed for which, many thanks. FYI, what happened when I tried
v5.5 was the following.
- v5.5 installed fine (as did v5.6 and
v6.0)
- The audio setup wizard worked fine (both v5.6 and
v6.0 claimed the DSP TrueSpeech codec was missing)
- I invited v5.5/WinNT to a conference from a
second PC, and v5.5/WinNT claimed that the audio was already in use by another
program (sigh!)
- However, I pressed the "Audio Off" button on the
conference, then switched it back on, and the conference worked!
This leads me to conclude that Y!M on Windows NT
seems to trip over its own boot laces. I suspect that one part of Y!M has
the audio and/or codec in use whilst another is trying to get exclusive access,
thus giving rise to these irritating problems.
Anyway, for now I'm leaving v5.5 installed purely
for when I need to do some testing.
Again, many thanks for all your help and
suggestions,
Paul DS.

"missing" codec
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

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.

Y!M claims the Codec is
not installed, but I can see it and use it!
