Ok, but I don't want to use YAHOO MESSENGER. What's the since of telling me
I can talk with Yahoo users on WLM if I can't talk to them. It use to work,
in fact just 3 days ago it was working....for the last 2 days, it has
stopped. Nothing has changed on my computer, so my guess it's the services
between WLM and YAHOO.
Here is the weird thing about it. I can RECEIVE messages from YAHOO people,
they just receive my response or my messages. Other thing, they can see when
I log on and off from WLM. You tell me. What gives. Also, notice that WLM
to WLM, some messages get lost. I would saw, 1 in 5 messages I send with WLM
2009 get lost and I have to re-type it.
