Fixing Trillian, Broken by Yahoo!

On Thursday, Yahoo changed their protocol in an effort to prevent spammers. As a result, Trillian's connectivity is also affected. You may get a crash in Yahoo.dll or an Invalid Login error when connecting to the Yahoo Messenger network. Cerulean Studios is working on a solution for this problem and will post an update here when a fix is available. If Trillian crashes when you load it, preventing you from shutting off your Yahoo autoconnect, follow these steps: * Close Trillian. Locate your Yahoo.ini file. Press Windows-F or click your Start Button then Search -> All files and folders -> Yahoo.ini. If you can't find it this way, look in C:\Program Files\Trillian\Users\Default or the Trillian Settings directory under your current user's C:\Documents and Settings folder. * Edit the file by double-clicking or opening it in Notepad. Replace all occurences of 'auto connect=1' with 'auto connect=0' and save the file. Now reload Trillian and it won't try to autoconnect to Yahoo, which causes the crash.

Good thing I've got three other ways you can IM me.
