Thanx alot. It seems this ported app (yahoo mess vista for xp) is just based on .net framework 3.0 platform as weel as ported windows sidebar to xp but without vista API that emulated by Alky. i think the full version will be same, no restriction to install yahoo messenger on xp as long as you have .net framework 3.0 installed, no vista API except if the installer will recognize the os (vista or xp)

I did install .net 3.0 on my PC and got YM Vista to work. But when I tried to log-in, it usually shows an error pop and the program shuts down. What could I possibly do to use YM Vista and sign-up with my current account?
