yahoo messenger
I downloaded the new yahoo messenger and it is supposed to show you the peoples names instead of there screen names, and show pictures by there name. But mine is not doing that, what did I do wrong?

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Yahoo messenger will only show what people allow it to show. It can only show a name and picture if the person has put in a name and picture. Most of my contacts have not. I, personally, don't put my real name on my messengers. Just a screen name. It is safer that way. As for a picture, it will only show a pic if one has been uploaded or if an avatar has been created (I use an avatar, again it is safer). If your contacts are using an older version, they probably have not done this, so it won't have anything to show.
If your contacts do have real names and pics on their yahoo accounts, but it isn't showing them on yours, try restarting it. Better yet, restart your whole computer. This should make the new program get recognized. If that doesn't work, check to make sure your old one is fully removed from your computer and that the new one is fully installed. You may need to uninstall both and reinstall the new one.

Try reinstalling it, signing on and off again..
If it doesnt work, it's probably not designed to do so (even if the site said it would.) I have it too and The names show up but the pictures sometimes don't show up.

Maybe it's defective.
