Hmmmm!! I'm at a loss. If you can't get to Yahoo, then you obviously can't
look up any help sections. Have you tried calling your ISP? They might
help.
But first check your PC for spyware and viruses and try clearing out your
TIF Start/Control Panel/Perf. and Maint./Free up space.
It looks like something you have in your PC is blocking internet access.
Last thought, try going to Start/Run and enter "netsh winsock reset" without
the "" but with the spaces then press OK
