Yahoo Messenger conflict with 3ds max?

[mlegs]

Hello...I have a problem with Yahoo messenger lately. A message saying " yahoo messenger is not responding" appears from nowhere. I observed this didn't happen before I have installed 3ds max . I think the problem is that Yahoo messenger installs Microsoft's Visual C++ Runtime 2005 Redistributable. But 3ds max also installs Microsoft's Visual C++ Runtime 2005 Redistributable (maybe another version that yahoo messenger is not compatible with). Is there a chance to use both programs?I tried reinstalling yahoo messenger but the problem persists. Any help is appreciated
