Been having problems with the latest Yahoo Messenger 7 build 437 crashing everytime I load it up. That’s why I haven’t been able to respond back to a lot of YM buzzes for a couple of days.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing it back to no avail. I checked the error message and it says something’s wrong or incompatible with a flash.ocx file. I did a search in Google and someone in a forum mentioned about updating Flash Player 8 which I did but that did not help either. I actually considered reverting back to a fresh install with Norton host.
My last attempt to figure out the cause of this problem ended up in me searching for the verisons of flash.ocx in my desktop. I found two files, the other one was a much older version than the other. I overwrote the older version with the newer one.
Guess that fixed it. Just had to post this minor glitch here thinking someone else might encounter the same problems with YM. I’m not sure though if the Firefox 1.5 installation had something to do with this though.

I have the problem I searched my desktop for flash.ocx and found only 1 version of the file. what can I dooooooooo?
Abe Olandres says:
Hi!
Uninstall your YM, delete the said file and re-install from a new version of YM.
That should work.

I’ve noticed it crashes during a particular ad for Resident Evil 3 at the exact same time EVERY time (which happens to be running on Messenger). Maybe something in the video’s coding? I’ll try reinstalling as ya’ll have.
