check the location you are downloading this file to, and make sure if it is an .exe file, you go back once it's downloaded and doubleclick on it to install it.  Otherwise, it won't do a thing to help your computer.  As far as making yahoo your default email provider, is this for Outlook?  Check out the following information and link:\n\n"The ability to access Yahoo! Mail via a POP3 email client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) is only available to customers of our premium Yahoo! Mail Plus service. \nIf you have not purchased the Yahoo! Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an email client. To determine whether or not you have purchased this service, please visit the My Services page. "\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-40.html\n\nThere are links on this yahoo mail FAQ page for most email client software programs.\n\nGood luck.

If anyone sends it to you through email its most likely to get corrupted..ask any of your friends to download it for you usin p2p s/w and get it in a c.d. thts the best way..

Because it's a Yahoo! product.  Never use anything Yahoo! asks you to download.  Stick with their almost-useful web services.

If you are a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber (paid email) you can activate it by click on the "Try it now" underneath your mail capacity bar.  Otherwise, you'll need to sign up on the wait list by going to this link:\nhttp://whatsnew.mail.yahoo.com/\n\nKeep in mind that it is still a beta version which means it’s still in development and being actively debugged.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

I would think it was sweet. In order to send him that program, go back to where you saw it, and copy the link in your address bar. Then, go to your email account and write your email. When you reach the stage where you want to tell him where to get the program, right click and paste. It should look something like this  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AkleoAENGgqFpqWwuEp8xykezKIX?link=answer&.crumb=FOFDt1J%2Fywb&qid=1006052653163&.done=http%253A%252F%252Fanswers.yahoo.com%252Fquestion%252Findex%253Fqid%253D1006052653163  Which is this page here. So, that will take him right to it, and he can download it himself. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you!!

OK I know this is going to sound really weird but here goes....\n\nI went to yahoo and searched pic's and tried to download a pic and got the same thing (I'm running the same as you and IE7... not sure what you are running)    I also just had the option of a bitmap form for saving.   \nI then went to Google pic's and tried there and got both options bitmap and JPEG.\nSo decided to go back to Yahoo and take another look... but when I went back all of a sudden both options were available.\nI tried it again with another pic at Yahoo - the first time only Bitmap option was available - but one I went out of the site - went to Google - then back again - both were available.  Really Strange to say the least.  Something is messed up somewhere.  Will look into it further and see if I can find out anything or maybe someone else knows something more.

did you click the link that says .......... If Yahoo! Messenger with Voice does not begin installing in 5 seconds, please click here. \n\nif that doesn't work it may be your popup blocker stopping the download box from coming up. try holding down the Ctrl key when you click to download.

IM installed it and everything is working better then IE 6.\nThe only problem is that it is not compatible with the new yahoo mail.

Yahoo Help is never helpful, it always asks in the end to search within the faq, and i m not a lamer so that my answers would be found in the FAQ of the yahoo's all products' help.\n\nStop using yahoo's new crapy email interface, switch back to the older one. yahoo email interface.\n\nif you truly want to enjoy werb2.0 ajax email, do gmail!

Yahoo uses POP. you want to pick pop3. \n\nincoming is :pop.mail.yahoo.com \noutgoing is :smtp.mail.yahoo.com\n\nI belive Yahoo only allows you to pop the mail if you have yahoo mail premium. Be default because my isp partnered w/ yahoo I have it. \n\nBut you can try the settings and see if it works.\n\nBy the way, Yahoo does not use the email clients listed in your questions. That is a choice you would make. Which program would you use to check your mail. What yahoo does is allow the functionality to use those email clients, which are all POP compatible.

Yahoo is web based e-mail, unless you pay for POP through Yahoo. Just in case you don't know, POP is where the e-mail is downloaded to your compuer, but web-mail is stored on the server on the web. You can usually view POP mail through the web, but it doesnt work the other way around.\n\nWhen you click the e-mail link on a webstie, the browser handles the HTML tag by opening up the default mail program on your computer, and putting the e-mail address in the "to" field.\n\nOne solution is to sign up for POP access. This will allow that cool e-mail feature to work. You can do that through your ISP for free, Yahoo and MSN charge a little bit. I use Bluebottle (it's free!) Then set up Entourage, or preferably the program that came on the mac called Mail, as your default e-mail reader.\n\nIf you're too lazy or confused to do that, click on the Mail program, go to Prefernces, and under the General tab, choose Mail(version) as your default e-mail reader. This will bring up Mail instead of Entourage, and will be less annoying to close.

I'm having the exact same problem.  I've tried multiple browsers, I've made sure Java was updated, nothing works.  It's not your system, it's Yahoo's fault, but their customer service is worthless, there's nothing we can do. For anyone who hasn't bought it yet, please don't buy it.

The All New Yahoo! Mail will be released in two phases. Beginning April 18, 2006, 30% of the total Yahoo! primary accounts and sub accounts that are not under parental controls will be able to switch to the new Yahoo! Mail. The rollout will continue with the other 70% in the 2nd phase on May, until all Members that do not have parental controls enabled have the option to use the new version of Yahoo! Mail.\n\nYou dont need any invites to be able to use the new Yahoo Beta email. You just need to at least meet the system requirements:\n\n*Browsers\nIE 5.5 and higher (for Windows) \nFirefox 1.0 or higher (for Mac and Windows) \nMozilla Suite 1.7 or higher (for Mac and Windows) \nNetscape 7.2 (For Windows) \nSBC Yahoo! Browser 3.3 \n\n*Operating Systems\nWindows 2000, XP \nMac OSX \n\n\nEntry points for the new Yahoo! Mail are the following:\n\nTrap page | Promo Module on the Mail Welcome Page | Link on the Mail Options Page \n\n*Trap Page*\nWhen Members log in to email for the first time after being provisioned with access (30% on April 18) to the new Yahoo! Mail.\n\n*Promo module on the Mail Welcome Page*\n\nSBC Yahoo! Members using classic email will see the new Yahoo! Mail module on the Mail Welcome page, suggesting a switch to the new Yahoo! Mail. The Member needs only to click on the Try it today link to switch to the new Yahoo! email - provided they meet minimum system requirements.\n\n*Link on the Mail Options Page*\n\nThe Try it now link will be displayed on the Mail Options page only for SBC Yahoo! Members who are provisioned, regardless if the Member has already switched to the new Yahoo! Mail. This link will allow the Member to switch to the new Yahoo! Mail by directing them to the landing page from which they can access the new Mail version.\n\nNow if you really cant wait to change your email to Beta and you're tired of waiting, then the easiest way to change to Beta is change your location to UK or any other location not US. You can go about this by going to My account and click on Edit and under General preferences, change you Preferred Content to UK or Canada for the moment.When you click finish you are gonna be given a TOS (terms of service), you click accept and then after that you would be asked if you want to try the new Yahoo Beta version then you email away and enjoy Yahoo Beta! \n\nAnd if you want to switch back to the original "face" of yahoo mail, you simply click on the link that says, Switch Back (in line with Sign Out and My Account links at the top), then you're back to the original. But if you decide to switch back to Beta again, then you simply go to the Options tab (on the upper right corner), there would be a purple button there to Try Yahoo Beta again. This process is reversible and should not affect your email. So don't you worry about losing you emails.=D

Might be might also be that your email program blocked access to it..you need to check your email account settings...if you have an IT person call them\n\nOr it might possbiily be an antivirus warning that it could not open it because it detected a flase something and a red flag went up and blocked access to it\n\nis it from someone you know?\n\nif it is not then Personally I would dump it just to be safe

contact yahoo customer service and label your email URGENT. That's really weird, it must be a bug.\n\n.. unless you've been uploading nude photos or something, and they got upset!

I got the same thing when I first downloaded yahoo's security system ?  I just deleted it from the yahoo security itself.  I think it came with the program anyway!  You could always do a system restore if you find you think you need it!  Peace!
