Lately, Yahoo Email has been causing my Internet Explorer to freeze and lockup??

This problem started about 2 months ago. I never had any trouble with it like this before. It only happens when I go to check my Yahoo Email. I use other yahoo services and they do not freeze up my PC. All other webpages that I visit do not freeze it up either.





This is how it happens... I pull up the Yahoo page as my home page.... Then it alerts me that I have new email. I click on the email link from the front page. I click on the Inbox link to read my mail. Occassionally, I can read them with no freezing. But 7 times out of 10, it freezes when I click on Inbox. I wait and see if it will work... but it just totally freezes up. I usually then have to hit Ctr, Alt, Del, and end the operation. Sometimes, I can just pull up IE again and start over. Sometimes, I have to reboot my PC all together because it is totally locked up. This only happens when I go into yahoo mail.... Can anybody tell me WHY? What should I do to fix it?





Thanks for any input!

Reply:switch to classic view ( they will have the link to do it in the top left corner) the new style look obviously hasnt been debugged completely ,.
Reply:Yahoo is still having some problems at the moment. Suggested cures range from Update Adobe Flash Player and Javascript to clear IE7 cache, cookies, and browsing history. Different things seem to work for different people. It's causing attachments to not show, 999 errors where it won't let you do a particular action and some people cannot send recieve delete or move mail. It's not just Vista either it's happening to some of us on XP. I have been advised to use this site to view my mail, www.mail2web.com if all else fails go back to classic mail via this link. http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/optout?s... click yes when asked do you want to opt out. Hope this helps.
Reply:This may not address the root cause, but download and use Mozilla Firefox. It's better and safer.
Reply:It could be the Yahoo tool bar...do you have yahoo messenger? If so go to add and remove in your start program and see if any add ons are on there from when you downloaded it. Remove them and that should help. Also you should once a month do a disk clean up and defrag your computer so it will run faster. It could also be your internet provider.
Reply:That's not happening to me but, yeah I can't access my mail either! Yahoo is having some problems with the mail right now! %26amp; this is the first time this has happened to me! But, I'm sure their working on the problem right now! (I'm furrious right now because I really need to check my mail)
Reply:You are the 3rd person to mention this that I've seen. Yes Yahoo had some mail issues but it was a problem with the JAVA for one and for outdated Internet explorer for the other because the updated their computer and missed a download update somewhere. The quickest way to try to solve your issues is to uninstall the yahoo toolbar from your computer and just reinstall it. This should fix any glitch you have. If that doesn't work then also update your Java. You would likely have troubles clicking on buttons in webpages if Java was the 1st issue. If those don't work you can jump onto Microsoft's website for troubleshooters as well. It takes time but they seem to always work. Hope this helps.
