Yahoo Messenger 10 Problem in Vista

[Chris Thomas]

Why I cannot run Yahoo Messenger in my secondary User Account with my User Account Control (UAC) enabled and Parental Control? 

I am the admin but I cannot allow the standard user to use Yahoo Messenger

Is there any way around?

Unfortunately I can't help you with Yahoo.
I use Trillian Astra and it handles all the IM's without a problem.

Hi Chris...

Is the use of Yahoo Messenger blocked under "Program Limits" of Parental Control?

God bless

I just forgot, but just like ardvark said, it should be there an option to "available" for all user

[Chris Thomas]

No. It is not blocked under program limit

I am the admin. I have another standard a/c for my brother. I have enabled user controls because I don't want my brother to change any settings.

@ bob

Trillian don't have video chat. Do they?

Hi Chris...

Short of disabling UAC, I'm not sure what to suggest other than to contact Yahoo to see if they will lend a hand.

God bless

I remember some programs asked if shall they available for admin (you) only or for all user in the first time installment. I'm not quite understand it on YM, since I use Pidgin.

Hmm, there is no such option when installing Yahoo 10.

@ardvark

I contacted the guys at Yahoo. They told me that it is a new security feature of Yahoo 10.

I am flabbergasted! 

My brother will really miss Yahoo! Haha!

Chris Thomas,

Is there anyway for non-admin user to install YM in their own account? It is permitted?

Cahya.

That feature is only available in the paid version. Sorry.  :'(

A non admin cannot install Yahoo messenger 10 on vista...
