Yahoo! Messenger crashes instantly

I had a similar problem some time ago,but found a fix for it,using the compatibility tab in Windows(wow,me iz genius;yeah right).

But I found what really caused the problem.It's WindowBlinds.

Now,I could have just lived with Flyakite 3,even though the Minimize,Maximize&Close buttons were swapped,being on the right side(I got used to them being on the left),but all theme support is ripped from this version of windows I'm using so after Flyakite done it's thing,after the restart,I was left with a "cool" hybrid : Mac style icons and all the rest with a Windows Classic GUI which was not good at all.

I turned to WindowBlinds to force theme loading at startup and loaded this theme,found on wincustomize.com "Mac OS X Tiger.wba" .

That was done,but when the time came to install YM 8.0(or any other above version) it crashes whenever I try to open a menu in it,either by right-click or by left-clicking on the menu itself(even the smiley menu >.^_^

Just add the yahoo messenger exe to the windowblinds excluded application. Choose 'do not skin this application'.

Or, try a different OS X skin. Maybe that Yahoo prog is allergic to the one you're using.
