If you have your windows setup cd, load it, restart the PC, boot off the CD and start the Recovery console. Here you can use the fixmbr command to commandeer your MBR. Fixmbr (microsoft.com)

The Linux version of yahoo messenger is far behind the standard that is available for both Windows and Mac users. I would look for a 3rd party replacement for Yahoo messenger if i were you!
i am glad my post helped you!

Good luck… and if you find a suitable replacement for yahoo messenger please post the link here!

Hello:

Make sure that you have enabled the main, universe, restricted, and multiverse repositories in your software sources.
To so that click on System >> Administration >> Software Sources.. And then click on the Ubuntu Software tab.
Also you may want to add these repositories to your lists. Click on the Third Party Software tab and add these url’s:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu

After you do that run this command in a terminal-
sudo apt-get update
then run -
sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2
That should do it!!

Good Luck…
Let me know how it works out.
