Yahoo Messenger Crash

Error:

Faulting application name: YAHOOM~1.EXE, version: 11.0.0.1751, time stamp: 0x4cd38198
Faulting module name: d2d1.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4d5f61cb
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0003669d
Faulting process id: 0x13bc
Faulting application start time: 0x01cc2019ca9c0f05
Faulting application path: C:\PROGRA~1\Yahoo!\MESSEN~1\YAHOOM~1.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\d2d1.dll

The above yahoo messenger error is caused by an outdated d2d1.dll.  To update your d2d1.dll simply go to windows update and install the optional compatibility updates.  I do not recall which exact one includes the d2d1.dll update but it’s one of those.  I hope this helps someone.

Update (8/6/2011): There may be more to this error than a d2d1.dll update.  However I have not seen it continue after doing all the optional compatibility updates.  If you have all the optional updates and are still experiencing this problem then please post a comment.
