Yahoo messenger and share of pics

[ajpearson]

OK - up until about a week ago I could share pics etc quite happily.  Now all that happens is the xfer starts and the pics are blurred - pixellated (spelling?).  That is the case for either me sending of receiving.

If I try and send of rx a pic without using the photo share - then the xfer starts and fails.

Seems to occur for either my works laptop or home PC - using the same Yahoo account.

Tried to uninstall and re-install - nothing different.

All machines using XP  - but home one was hit by Sp3 the other night.   MSN etc for share of pics seems OK

Any clues ?

So you are worried about spelling pixellated but use xfer repeatedly ? ?
And what does being hit by SP3 mean ? ?
If the same pics work on MSN but not Yahoo i suspect the Yahoo account.

OK

Done some more checks.

I can chat, see and send webcam etc in Yahoo and all works OK.  As soon as I try and use photo share the problem occurrs.  I can see the very rough picture but cannot get it to load fully - ie the pixellation occurs.

My works machine through my router etc all seems ok, chat and pics all works as expected.

Attempts to log into Yahoo for email is extremely slow.  Cannot see any Yahoo settings that are wrong - but I guess this may be an internal to Yahoo issue.

Anyone else having any Yahoo related problems ?

I don't use it that often but it was miserable on Thursday...haven't been back.
I only use it for my 2 junk-mail accounts...nothing else.
