Website: Yahoo.com Current version: 2.5.3 and higher Desired versions: Version that works with older Mac OS than 8.6 Description: I've had no luck with this search anywhere. I was referred here by a friend who got his older version of yahoo messenger here, but it doesn't look like that spanned to a macintosh-based messenger version. Was there a yahoo messenger that worked for Mac OS 8.5.1 at all? And if so, if someone could point that out to me, I'd appreciate it. Yahoo's not being cooperative. |

Hello macgreen!
The following versions should work with your operating system... Minimum system requirements: - Mac OS 8.1 with CarbonLib 1.0.4 - PPC v2.5.3 http://download.yahoo.com/dl/mac/yms...pc_install.bin v2.5.2 http://download.yahoo.com/dl/mac/yms...pc_install.bin v2.5.1 http://download.yahoo.com/dl/mac/yms...pc_install.bin v2.5.0 http://download.yahoo.com/dl/mac/yms...pc_install.bin More infos about these versions... http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/5024 If you are looking for mac files versiontracker.com is one of the best sources, in my opinion. |

Thanks for the assist. Now I just ahve to figure out this carbonlib problem... I installed carbonlib 1.0.4 as required. but for some reason, the 2.5 version I downloaded doesn't find it when I try to get yahoo messenger to work. Any suggestions on how I can fix that, without downloading the next step up? Which I'm gonna try anyway.

Currently I do not have any of my old Mac's setup to do any testing, no space left for them. I presently just run my new iMac (Intel CoreDuo).
I would just double check your installation. Make sure you have turned on Carbonlib in the extension manager. |

I reinstalled CarbonLib and made sure it was turned 'on'. Now I'm getting a different error- "CarbonLib--DisposeControlColorupp" Could not be found.
I've been looking on google for this error, but I can't find a thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Last edited by macgreen; 10-14-2006 at 12:45 AM. |
