Yet another Yahoo! product which is not fully compatible on Vista after Yahoo! mail and Yahoo! Music Engine, which is nothing but the worlds popular Yahoo! messenger itself. Yahoo! messenger is not fully working on Vista Beta1.

Even though I installed Yahoo! messenger version 7,0,0,426 few days back when I tested Yahoo! music engine on Vista, today I thought of using it on Vista when my XP is used to create a DVD.

I started Messenger and signed in; after signin, I get a blank screen as in this screen shot. That means I could not identify the list of friends who are online now. The messenger allows me to perform all operations to browse and check stock quotes, news and other things.

The messenger also hungs during the signout or trying to play a song from Yahoo! music Launcast and I needed to kill it (YPager.exe) from the Task manager. Atleast now, Yahoo! should seriously consider the compatibility of its products under Vista, else it might loose the base to Google or MSN, whos products does seem to work fine on Vista.
