Hi,
Both of these symptoms sound like the work of a third-party program such as
a pop-up blocker, ad-blocker or privacy/security program.

Start by uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar from Control Panel> Add/remove
programs (if it's listed.)

Check settings of other toolbars or add-ons. Disable pop-up blocking, if
possible.

Check for a HOSTS file.
To check the HOSTS file in Windows XP...
Make sure that Windows is showing hidden files and is
not hiding file extensions for known file types (Control Panel> Folder
Options> View) then check for a HOSTS file
at [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc]
Rename the HOSTS file to HOSTS.OLD to disable it. Spybot and several other
programs create and use a HOSTS file. You may have to find that program and
turn off that option.

Hope this helps,
Don
