Hey people.
I too have Vista RC2 and might I say, what a improvment over XP!
My lord!

Anyways I am unable to connect using yahoo voice chat in rooms* and am going crazy here.
I cant figure out what the deal is.
Do I need a CODEC or what?

Please someone out there help us!

Short, practical troubleshooting and context for the Vista + Yahoo voice-room problem (threads from , , , and ):

The error noted in the thread points at a socket-option failure when the messenger attempts to set up conference audio; on Vista that often traces back to one of three things: application compatibility/UAC, a firewall/AV or network-driver/winsock mismatch. The checklist below focuses on low-risk, reversible steps that historically fixed this class of failure.

  • Compatibility & privileges: run the messenger in Windows XP compatibility mode and launch it elevated (Administrator) for a quick test.
  • Firewall/AV: add the messenger executable to allowed programs, and briefly disable third-party firewall/AV to determine if it blocks the voice connection.
  • Reset the network stack (requires an elevated command prompt): 
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /flushdns

Restart the PC after the commands.

  • Update or reinstall the NIC drivers and chipset drivers from the vendor; Vista-era driver mismatches produce odd socket errors.
  • Test IPv6: temporarily disable IPv6 on the adapter as a diagnostic (older clients sometimes mis-handle IPv6).
  • Clean reinstall the messenger (remove leftover profile/config data under the user profile before reinstall) to rule out a corrupt client state.
  • Isolation test: try the same account from a different network or an XP VM to confirm whether the fault is Vista-specific.

A note on community fixes and codecs: community patches (see ) and codec packs (as mentioned by ) have worked for some people, but treat third-party binaries cautiously—create a restore point and back up profiles first. If the socket-option error persists after the steps above, capture a connection log or packet trace (Wireshark) and compare against a working XP trace to locate where the handshake fails.

I think that the issue occurs here:
" C 28-233405.982000 b78 Unable to set TCP_NODELAY: Invalid argument"

Vista did quite a bit of changing (network wise) with their new OS, and it probably caused some issues with the application your attempting to run.

What version of the Yahoo! software are you currently running?

It works somewhat.
The voice chat in rooms is what doesnt work.

I Have built a Fix for all vista 32 bit systems to get Yahoo! Voice working in vista

To get it you can download it here

It's built in C# .NET 2008 so fully Vista Compliant

Will also fix yahoo! voice in 3rd party chat clients also.
