Answer» Hi, I am helping my friend set up his new vista home premium, we installed the so called yahoo messenger for vista 8.0.1.422 (I believe), it works fine except it will not connect to the pc to pc call computer feature. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it, if you did? ThanksThe yahoo Im should work fine with any program...the yahoo voip system...even computer to computer just plain sucks....get Skype...shouldn't have any problems then with voice calls to ANY computer....just my 2 cents.What about PC-to-phone? Does that work? I use Yahoo Phone but I've only used it for PC-to-phone calls. you said>>>but I've only used it for PC-to-phone calls. Are you using Vista?I have it installed on a tower PC with Win XP and on a Notebook PC with Vista and have used it for PC-to-phone calls on both. It seems to work EQUALLY well on both systems. I never tried the phone part, no need for it. This is a friends pc and he lives in another state, I will not be on his pc for a week or so to see. But we should be able to get pc to pc with vista on yahoo messenger, but I dont know anyone who has it. All FORUMS I visit they seem to have the same problem. If anyone has a new vista home premium and can use the pc to pc on yahoo messenger, please let me know how you got it? ThanksThe person on the intended receiving end has set up the special Phone In number, right? I see that SERVICE costs $2.49/mo. Quote I never tried the phone part, no need for it. Why do you say "no need for it"? Wouldn't that method of calling be an option for you?We are not interested in pc to phone, Thanks Quote from: soybean on January 02, 2008, 07:37:55 AM The person on the intended receiving end has set up the special Phone In number, right? And, just as a test, can you call regular phone numbers or not?I have Vista on my laptop and yahoo messenger. I can view a webcam, SEND a webcam, but if I try to click on the "call" button it will not connect. I also got a message saying that I didn't have a sound card!?!? I have not fixed it yet...but glad to know I'm not the only one who has trouble with this...Yeah it seems to be all over the net how people with vista that use yahoo messenger cannot call pc to pc. I just received an email from yahoo messenger stating they are trying to fix the problem but they dont know when?
