Hi Microsoftdummy,

I'm moving this thread to "Off-Topic" forum, since this issue is not related to Visual C++, I would suggest you post in Yahoo forum for more support.

Best Regards,
Nancy

I am assuming you are uninstallingand it is not completing so heres what you do
rist crtl/alt/del
click on processes and make usre yahoo is NOT running if it is clickand then click end now
then go and use control panel add//remove to dump it
thenis should uninstall
go thru 1 complete reboo t with it off the system
then grab the version that worked last and worked well
7 or 8 for xp and 8 or above with vista
modem????????
does anyone actually use one
if ya can it might be easier for you to download it put it in a Cd and bring it over  the downlaod may be breaking up suffiently to screw up the file
