I have checked my sysem and it appears that my installation of YIM
does not include a YAUTO.DLL.  Judging by your description of the
issue being an ActiveX problem, I must suspect that only Windows
versions of YIM are affected.  In future reports, you may wish to
indicate the relevant operating system(s) along with the "vulnerable
versions", as failing to do so can only harm your credibility.
