Answer #1

yahoo messenger is not setup to work with skype…try using gmail, windows live hotmail (msn messenger), aol, mail.com…there are also a bunch of others that nobody ever heard of that work with it…when you install the skype software all you have to do is read the compatible sites…I keep trying to tell peopl but they seem to think yahoo is the best and my personal choice is msn and second choice would be aol
