My friend and I share photos regularly. She has one laptop, a 1YO Gateway. I have three laptops that I use regularly - first one is a 2YO Dell, the other two are newer Dells (one 1YO, the other 1month old) and all have the most recent version of Messenger. My friend was on an older version - but it worked fine until about a month ago, when she would be able to get my photos but I could not get hers on the newer Dells (just the older Dell).
I was visiting her over the weekend and we upgraded her to the most recent version of Yahoo Messenger. I still cannot receive her photos on either of the two newer Dells. I get the blurred-out photo but it never loads. I have changed security settings; added File Sharing TCP port 80 to the exceptions list; re-installed Messenger; disabled Windows Firewall (no other firewall) ..... nothing works. She has dialup and I am on DSL - but none of that has changed since this problem began. Yahoo Help pages are basically useless for anything more than basic problems (i.e. "how do I sign into Messenger?" types of problems LOL). If anybody has any insight or ideas to try I would appreciate it - quite frankly, I'm tired of having to switch computers to share photos with my friend (the older Dell belongs to my son, my photos are stored on one of the newer Dells which is mine). Thank you!
