Re: my yahoo bizarre blank page done

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Thanks Don... I understand and I'll try these... note that I'm running MS
Anti-Spyware Beta on all but one of the machines... I'll follow up on each of

let you know which, if any work...

Thanks again... t
