here is the example of my problem.....When I sign on to Yahoo I can't see the pictures or the advertisement that comes up just under the Messenger Smiley.  I see a blank box with a RED X in the top left hand corner or I see red, green, and blue shapes in a box and I can't get it fixed.  When I go msn to download a patch, it tells me to download the ActiveX control and my computer will not let me because I can't see it.  I also don't see the yellow bar for pop-ups that comes up under the toolbar.  I don't know what else to do....Can ANYONE tell me step by step instrutions on how to get my computer fixed?  And another thing, when I try to go to play online games or look at animated things I always get these same blank boxes.    Thanks your help is appreciated\n\nNOTE:  Its not related to "picture sharing" I can see my pictures.

I would recomend going to www.mozilla.com and downloading Firefox. Better to have a browser that works right in the first place then spend hours tracking down a patch or some setting that was sent wrong. And it's free, faster, and blocks most popups.

I would assume it is the yshortcut.dll causing your problem. Uninstall Yahoo Messenger and/or Yahoo Widgets if installed and see if that remedies your problem. \n\nYou could also ditch IE and use Firefox or Opera.

Spyware could be an issue. Also, maybe get a pop-up blocker from yahoo toolbar or something.

go to messenger.yahoo.com, and click "Get It Now" -- if you mean icons, like the smileys, yes, they are a part of the download.  if you mean the *avatars*, that's slightly unrelated.  you will need a Yahoo account, whether for email or messenger.  then go to avatar.yahoo.com, and figure it out from there.

I really doubt whether you checked it very well. I'm using MSN Live messenger and I put up my display image on there. Anyway, go to MSN messenger's menubar, then tools> options> personal and see under "My Display Picture". Check the box for "Show my display picture and allow others to see it". Then, click on "Change picture" and then browse your desired picture here. Make sure the "don't show a picture" below is UNchecked. Now click "OK". \n\nAsk your husband whether he can see your picture now. Make sure he is also using Windows Live. \n\nGood Luck.

Go to this page and download a copy of the dll file. http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?yimage\nIt comes in a zip file. You will have to unzip it. When you unzip it, it will as you where to unzip the file. Specify the location as C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger . \nHopefully that will fix the problem. If not try zipping it to these locations also. \nC:/Windows/System\n\nC:/Windows System32

Is really funny, someone asking this question. I know, and it sucks, guess what? Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Beta does not work with any MacAfee products. I also had the same exact problem, when I tried to open my FireWall summary, a window will come up, but the window was just blank with nothing on it.\n\nI never read the "Currently posted bugs (issues)" and in that letter, Microsoft says that there are issues with MacAfee products while using IE 7 Beta, so you have to wait until the next release or uninstall and install IE 6.\n\nIt was very bad because I loved IE 7 Beta, but I had to uninstall it because I chose to keep my computer safe.\nWhat are you going to do?

This may mean that the images are not compatible with your browser. The red 'X' you describe suggests you are using internet explorer. I would recommend downloading Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com . Its a browser like IE but contains a heap of extra features including increased security. It may also let you see the MySpace images.\n\nHope this Helps!

Best thing to do is to go to add and remove and take it out, after that do a search from the green start button, type in yahoo messenger and see if there are any bits left in your pc, if there are remove these too and then re-install messenger, I never install the toolbars, and I would advise you to do so too.  Best of luck

http://messenger.msn.com/status.aspx shows MSN's messenger status.\nAs of now, its reporting that:\n\n"Sign In\nThe .NET Messenger Service is temporarily experiencing difficulty. You may be unable to sign in. If you are signed in, some features may be unavailable. Please try again later.\nLast Update: 15/11/2006 10:23:00 Pacific Time (GMT -8:00)"\n\nIts a general problem. Just wait a while & they'll fix it.

The guy that mentioned the adware is probably right. Those types of programs (cutesy cursors, free screen savers) are usually also monitoring your surfing habits and reporting back to an ad server so that they can send you targeted advertisements in addition to the ones you'd normally see on a web site. \n\nYour newer computer is probably more likely to have some sort of adware/spyware blocker on it (Microsoft started including one of its own within the last year or two), and *that* could be blocking the installation... although if that were the case, I would also expect you would see a popup warning message from the adware blocker, so I dunno if that's what's happening or not.\n\nBottom line, though, is your computer is much better off without it. Might I suggest some adware-free smileys?\n\nhttp://paul.merton.ox.ac.uk/ascii/smileys.html

well I think there is some kind of a solution for your problem. First, install MSN Plus (find it at google) and after that, you can install the Pictures Displayer from this website. http://www.msgplus.net/pluginsdb/down/?action=file&id=117 >>> Well, I hope it resolved your problem. That's it! for the love and you are there and all those things, you make an image in paint or anything else you like to make it.\n\ngreetings,\n\nJoris Van den Berghe,\nBelgium

Should be easy to fix but may need a little more info.\n\nFor those that suggest doing a system restore.....think of sledgehammers and nuts.\n\nFirstly - does your Yahoo icon actually open Internet Explorer when you double click on it?  If so, all that has happened is that the icon is wrong and the link is fine.  To change the icon, right click on the shortcut, click on the Shortcut tab and select the "Change Icon" button.  You'll then be able to find the usual IE icon.\n\nIf your Yahoo icon does NOT open IE...\n\nIn Windows Explorer go to \n\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;<username>&#92;Start Menu&#92;Programs\n\nHere you'll (probably) see a short cut to IE.  Right click on it and the click Copy.\n\nGo back to your desktop and in a blank area right click and then click Paste.

Hi\n\nYou could try solving the problem from another angle.  Try adjusting your pop blocker to work with AIM.  It sounds like you are have a clasic battle with you popup blocker and if you fix it from that point you will have AIM and learn a new part of your computer.  As for AIM express I'm sure it will have the same problem.

If you are using XP it sometimes will have a yellow popup bar that says click for details which means usually that you need to install a plugin or active x control in order to properly view the content on that page. That yellow bar is for XP with service pack 2 users. If it is flash on the website you are trying to view  then you will have to install the flash player plugin. If it is a picture on your PC then you maybe trying to view an unknown file type. I'm not positive but if they are the .png file type that is usually related to Linux operating systems and WIndows can't recognize it if I remember right. Hope this helps!
