Re: my yahoo bizarre blank page done

Don,

I've looked at the malware issue and there's nothing significant there...
before I proceed with deleting the folders I wanted to give you more
information and see if you still suggest that as something to try...

I logged in as another user on one of the computers and the page loaded
properly... I logged out of that user and back onto the user that's been
giving me fits, and the page loaded properly there...

I did a refresh on the page, and it returned the same old blank page/done
thing and has been down ever since...

Now doesn't this point to YAHOO and the distributed serving up of these
pages, and not specifically to my computers and user settings ?? It's just
unstable and unpredictable, and I thought there might be some time-out,
cache, or other registry setting that might be more likely to help than
deleting folders ?? I was wondering too... you meant delete the FOLDERS and
not just the files, because I've cleared those files repeatedly to no
result...

Please let me know, and again, THANKS !!!!!! t
