Whenever you download a program, you have to choose a place to download it.. such as Desktop or a folder on your computer.
Do a file search for ymsgr and you should find the actual download. It will probably look like this... ymsgr8us.exe but the number could be different and be 8.1 so that is why I suggested searching only for ymsgr. To do a search, in case you don't know, choose Start>Search>All Files And Folders>(then type ymsgr in the field for "All Or Part Of File Name">then in the "Look In" field, choose "Local Hard Drive(s)" or "My Computer">then expand the "When Was It Modified" and choose "Don't Remember">then expand the "What Size Is It?" and choose "Don't Remember">then expand "More advanced options" and make sure (All Files And Folders) is in the search fields and put checkmarks in the top three things for searching in system, hidden and subfolders. Click the Search button and get yourself a Coke. When Windows finds the file, move it to your desktop or create a folder in "My Documents" called "Yahoo Messenger" and move it there. I normally download most things to "Desktop" and then once I've done what I need to do with the download, move it to a folder in "My Documents".

Before the problem arose(and not because of it),I was using Yahoo Messenger v8.0.....which I had downloaded previously.After the reinstall I installed YM version 5.6 which I had on disk.I had to re-download version 8.0 again. Now,the question is,when 8.0 is downloaded where is it downloaded too? And am I able to reinstall it from that place,rather than having to download it ONCE again if I get future problems with my PC.I am on dial-up and as the file is approx 20mb,it is a bit of a pain. TIA Stew
