Well its kinda like this....my computer has been freezing up alot lately and I was about ready to bury the #$%^!!! So yesterday I ran system recovery and now it won't let me reinstall yahoo messenger because it tells me my firewall is blocking it so I wanted to turn it off long enough to install it and then turn it back on. As it is now I don't know when I have email without checking for it. With YM I had it set to yodel :-o when an email came in..............so now that you know come fix this @#$%^&* for me!!! :lol:
