help needed getting started

[Lew Gwyn]

I am running Yahoo messenger on my pc - Windows 7 premium.
I tried downloading Pidgin, but in the window to select what you run, NO Yahoo option appeared.I uninstalled Pidgin, then tried to download it again. The system remembers my email address, but shows me as "not connected." I cannot figure out how to connect.What am I doing wrong?
