The way I look at it is if someone is at least taking the time to join a group like this, they are trying to learn. Vista is a lot different than XP for many users. I always ran a LOT of security on my XP machines so the switch to Vista wasn't too bad but the "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" got me when I got my first Vista computer and was installing SpyBot on it. Spybot wouldn't immunize properly and I had to go to the Spybot forums to figure out that it was the "RUN AS ADMINSTRATOR" mode that was stopping it. Since then, I know to do this with certain programs that will not run right otherwise. It's part of Vista's built in security but it's just something that was never on XP.

Give me details on exactly what it is saying, take a screen shot if you have to and post the image in an online photo album or the group's photos section and give me the link to the image. Are you the owner of the Vista computer? If yes, are you running the computer in the Administrator mode? Do you still have the UAC (User Access Controls) turned on so that you get a pop-up asking if you are sure you want to do certain things and then you have to say YES? If yes, go to the Start Menu, then navigate to the Yahoo Messenger folder and then to the actual button that you would normally click to start Yahoo Messenger, right click on that and choose RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR (DO NOT try this with one of the several shortcuts that YM usually creates, such as on your desktop, quicklaunch, etc.). Now try starting up YM again from that button and see if it works. Also, you never answered many of my other questions about firewalls, etc.. Re-read my previous reply and give more info.
