Unable to access Yahoo e-mail & games

I'm feeling really frusterated!

I haven't be able to access yahoo e-mail or the games that
you have to log into from my home computer for a couple of
months now. Here is my problem and I'm hoping someone
will be able to help me. Has anyone seen this problem
before?! I can get to the Yahoo homepage and then into
where you sign into yahoo e-mail. Now once I type in my e-
mail user ID and password I get "THE PAGE CANNOT BE
DISPLAYED" message. It won't even let me into yahoo games
(i.e. Canasta - you have to sign into this game). Now I
can sign into these anywhere else except home. I am
running WIN XP & IE6 on my machine. Here are the things
that I have already tried: Internet Options: 1) Cleared
Cookies 2) Deleted Files 3) Delete History (not sure where
to clear the cache) Downloaded all WIN XP security updates
Ran WinDoc to clean up the registry and ran a fix on any
of the problems I have made sure that I have no
viruses ... ran 3 different scanners. ran a spybot -
search & destroy ... I also downloaded Netscape to see if
I could get onto Yahoo through there, but that doesn't
work either. Changed my security and tried - but to no
avail ... so reset them. I have also tried the
following ... Go to a command prompt and type:
ENTER after each one
regsvr32 Softpub.dll
regsvr32 Wintrust.dll
regsvr32 Initpki.dll
regsvr32 Dssenh.dll
regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll
these re-registers the IE dll's that affect entry to
secure websites (one's that need sign-in and passwords).

Oh yes and I can't forget this one too ... Actually, if
you rename the hosts file and reboot, WinXP will create a
new clean one. Or go to www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?
ttid=257 download and run. It rebuilds the hosts file and
puts in new winsocks.

I also have tried the ping that someone gave for yahoo and
that came up as not being able to be connected.

Have I missed anything?! Please help! This is most
annoying. Thank you, Angela

I use yahoo games too and have several id's. I have the
same problem with one of them. I type in the id and
password and get "page cannot be displayed". However, if I
use a "back door" like shove-it.com or Amish donkey, I am
able to get into any game room. You may want to try that.
Also once you are logged into yahoo through the backdoor,
and you click on yahoo, it brings you to their main page,
and you should be able to get into your mail. I am hoping
it's just a temporary "glitch" with Yahoo. But this seems
to work for me.
