Yahoo Messenger 8.0.0.716

[tim2679]

My only nit would be changing the file version, product name, and product version to 8.0.0.716.

I state in the post with the download link that it is for use with
Yahoo Messenger 8.0.0.711 to 8.0.0.716 and also when you open
the patch the window caption also states 8.0 711 to 716. Also when
you start the program it checks which version of messenger that way it
won't patch a version of messenger where the Offsets would be different
and have the chance of having the messenger crash on start up.

Also you are welcome to scan my program with any anti-virus,
spyware checker, ect that you like. More so if you did not download
it from this thread in bigblueball.

Tim you are good at programming, I just tried to crash my computer by useing multiple instances of Yahoo Messenger 8.0 with your AD remover.

Features I was using, at the same time on three different IMs are, Broadcasting Webcam on one instance and viewing on the other two, Voice Conference on all three, Yahoo music on all three, IMViroment, Photo Share, File Share, Chat, Audibles, buzz, and also adding each instance as a friend. lol very noisey but everything worked like a charm.

I know nobody is going to send a file/photo or a Voice Conference with themself or even view there own cam, but I was testing to see if you could do many things on each instance of Yahoo.

The only thing that does not work like a charm, on more then one instance of Yahoo is Display Images, and Call only works on one instance at a time.

No problems yet found for tim's AD remover.
or even Yahoo messenger 8.0.0.716

Remember to use caution when opening many instances of Yahoo Messenger 8.0
Chris. Each new messenger window you open will use resources and have the
chance of running out of Free Memory.

Also remember just as you are able to enable multiple instances, you are also
able to disable them as well.

I already disabled the multiple instances since I don't use it, I only wanted to fully try your software. Since I never used any of your other software before and it works 100% as advertised, for what I saw.

If your wondering this is the computer I used to do the test.

Computer -> Hp Pavilion(a1310y)
Processor-> 3GHz(Pentium 4 HT)
Operating systems-> Windows XP SP2
Memory-> (1GB)
Pagefile-> 1524 - 3048
Connection-> DSL 1.5Mbps
Network-> Realtek RTL8139
Sound-> Realtek High Definition Audio
Display-> Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express with 128Mb
Firewall-> Winxp firewall

Using multiple instances of Messenger is up to your pc, not the program that enabled it.

Doing so to test how many you could open is pretty pointless? unless you're testing your machines ability to before you sell it or update.

I assume tim just used the Plural key like everybody else?

Yes, its the easiest way of enabling and disabling multiple instances of YIM 8.0

Easy meaing you don't have to change the YahooMessenger.exe binary data
and also easier to use for those who don't like messing with the registry editor.

It creates the DWord Value for you, and also sets the Value Data.

When you load my program it will look to see if you already have a DWord created.
If one is there it then checks to see if the Value Data is 0 or if its equal or greater
then 1. If there is no DWord or if the Data Value is 0 then it knows its disabled.
If its equal to or greater then 1 if knows it is enabled. If you already had a DWord
created before using my program it will allow you to disable it without having to go
to the registry editor to do it.

Yeah, same as me.

btw, this is what i use to toggle nicknames on/off on the fly tim.

Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long


Function StopNN()
Call SendMessage(FindWindow("imclass", vbNullString), &H111, 642, 0)
End Function

Function ShowNN()
Call SendMessage(FindWindow("imclass", vbNullString), &H111, 642, 0)
End Function

..of course you must do the toggle before messenger closes.

You can add it to your patch if you want.

I started just to see if there was anything that would not work with Tim's Ad remover. I saw no problems after I blocked the main messenger AD.

I will get a new pc, once my pc can't handle the software I use. Once that happens, updateing is pointless becouse the things that need to be updated costs more then a new pc. Except I most likely will upgrade to 2GB of memory soon.
Before you say that is dumb, I am talking about like three years from now and not the top of the line pc just newer. I just got this pc a few month ago.

The only problems I find with 716 are that display pictures aren't working for me again. Just black boxes (711 worked), and they still haven't fixed the chat word filter bug.

[tim2679]

I am currently using Yahoo Messenger 8.0.0.716 and the display pictures are displaying properly for me.
