Sorry if i dont understand correctly.

Are you wanting to download Messenger?

If so then that is where you download it from.

[steppenwolf]

i guess when you click it it comes out normal.. i had a dutch version of windows 95 so i formated to get driver for sound and put on american version and i have some international problem i guess

[steppenwolf]

i click the icon for messenger and the window closes and says illegal operation.

why?

[zachary720]

I would do a Custom uninstall of yahoo messenger and redownload it. You will lose any saved messages etc with that uninstall.

[steppenwolf]

i guess i cant make this clear,, when i go to the yahoo home page to click to download messenger i cant even get to the page it closes and says illegal operation

i did download the old version at oldversion.com
but of course it doesnt work

[steppenwolf]

maybe because i have this in 16 color and no driver for video yet?

[zachary720]

What operating system do you have? Because the new 6.0 does not support 95 or NT.

Go to this site and try to dl a version from there. but not the 6.0 ones. http://www.freecreed.com/ymsgr-archive.html

WELL FOR SOME REASON I GOT THE INTERNATIONAL YAHOO PAGE.. WHY I DONT KNOW ,,,SO I FInNaLY CLICKED ON THE CANaDIAN AND I NOW HAVE THE CANaDIAN VERSION OF YAHOO AND IT SEEMS TO WORK OK AND I THINK ITS VERSION 5.5

[steppenwolf]

i have windows 95 on this computer
it seems to be ok except im stuck in 16 color and at times all the browser windows will close

[zachary720]

I'm glad you found a version that works.

As for you getting the international yahoo page, I'm not really sure why you get that. I don't see how your colors on your computer would affect which web site comes up. Maybe send yahoo an email and ask them. Sorry I can't be more help with that problem.
