Yahoo! Messenger ReviewYahoo Messenger Games with Vista - Version: 8.1.0.421, 11/17/2007 09:50AM PST

The next beta 9 version that is available now to run on Vista does not include Yahoo Messenger Games at all!

So, since my brother likes to play chess with me via his Yahoo Messenger 8.1 version, I must use the same while running Vista Ultimate. In order to actually play chess with him I must first turn UAC (User Account Control) off. Do so via CONTROL PANEL\USER ACCOUNTS. This will involve a reboot of the computer. One must leave it off if one wants to play games through Yahoo Messenger.

I can not figure out how to play the single games in Yahoo Messenger 8.0. I can only find where to play with another person.
Also I cannot figure out how to change my display name when I type in messenger. My full name is listed up at the top of my messenger and when I send a message it shows my full name. I would like to change this.

Thank you.

i have been using yahoo for years now.. and since i upgraded to the new yahoo.. i had have some problems

so i went back to the old version of yahoo which is 7.02.120.

but recently for a month now, i was not able to see my buddies who ARE visible to me to be visible. they remained as invisible. not all my visible buddies are appearing offline.. just some.

and the thing is when they signs off.. i was able to see that they signed off because of the notification.. but if they are set as online to me.. i cannot see that they are.

help.
