Yahoo! Browser on Vista?

Hi,

I find that I can download Yahoo!'s browser onto my Vista Ultimate but it won't work properly.

There is no search bar or return arrows at the top of the page.

You can't sign in using the browser either, you have to first sign in on a different browser before you can access any of your own Yahoo! services on the Yahoo! browser.

There is an error when trying to sign in using Yahoo!'s browser:

"There is a buffer overrun that has corrupted the internal state for the ybrowser.exe and now the service has to close" and then does close.

Does anyone know of this situation and do you know of a solution for this so that one can use Yahoo!'s browser on Vista?

If it's at all possible I would like to use it.

Thanks,

John

    Here is a link to a site where the Yahoo Toolbar compatibility with Vista is analyzed, among other features---->

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Sea...

    Also I would look into my browser settings, the toolbar could be blocked, check the options.

    But first try and click on Buttons on the tool bar...and add what you like to see there....then right click on an empty part of the Yahoo Toolbar and make sure all the available buttons are selected there also...

    Good luck!
