Hi:

When I use Internet Explorer to get on the web I cannot use Yahoo as my home page. My computer freezes up. When I use Google as my home page IE, I can get on the web but I can't access yahoo.com.

Louie,

Hi,
Just try to ping the Yahoo wbsite, check what happen`s!! Or else try to open up the Yahoo website through the My Computer, It should work. Just check and if it is working send a relpy or rate the answer

Have you tried to clear up viruses on your computer? Mine would do that sometimes... certain things like Yahoo wouldn't work but other things would... I use spyware doctor to get rid of them... you may want to try it. It helped mine anyway,
