Has anyone encountered this problem? Everytime I try to download Yahoo Messenger for Vista I cant get it to download whole. The most it gets is halfway or even sometimes quarter of the way. Then it stops. Installation Unsuccesful message always. I cant get it to work. Help, If anyone knows the solutions to this or how i can it to work for vista. MSN worked great. But YM, apparently wont. Any tips? Thanks!! ^^

I'm assuming that it downloaded correctly and you are at the point of trying install it.

Right-click the installer and select "Run as Administrator" (or something like that, I'm not in front of a Vista machine).
See if that helps. smile.gif

Sometimes that gives you elevated powers.

Also, you might check your antivirus. I know my antivirus doesn't let me install Real Player... it thinks its a virus or spyware so it kept deleting it while I downloaded it. Then it kept canceling my installs because it deleted files and the installer was like O_o missing files. So yeah
