New update after posting my last post I used the widget convertor to take a look at your code after it was converted running it from the kon file worked xml were copied to the widget data folder and so was the help file. Recent searches and contact book also works. Still does not recognize I am online also my msn messenger account is not recognized I believe it is because it is not a hotmail account but a .msn accountl

Accessing the drawer works did not know you had to drag it down. Checked the path to the help file and the folder was empty no pdf found. Just testing it I checked to see if I was online (and I was) did not show me as online in yahoo or msn. Also both times I searched for my contact name nether showed up in recent searches.

I will look into the error you are receiving with the help file. I haven't encountered the issue yet, however.
As for the contacts and search history, you need to expand the drawer at the bottom of the widget by clicking and dragging downward on the little bar at the bottom of the widget.

When I ran the widget I got this in the debug window
[code]
uncaught exception: parse(): Expected string for parameter 1, got null

[/code]
When I tried the help file I got this
[code]
open: C:\Documents and Settings\Johnny\Local Settings\Application Data\Yahoo\Widget Engine\Widget Data\IMStatus\IMStatus-Help.pdf: The system cannot find the file specified.
[/code]

Also it will not display online contacts or search history
