problem accessing specific websites

[LiveAndLearn]

Hi all,

I have my Yahoo Messenger installed awhile ago, but decided to un-install it
because it seems to give me some slight hiccups. After the un-installation,
it gave me more problem. I isntalled it again to try to fix the problem, and
problem got worse, so I un-installed it again, the problem got increasingly
worse!!!

I think I'm stopping this installation cycle and try to get to the bottom of
this. At the moment, my PC has no Yahoo Messenger installed. But I have
problem opening the following websites:

www.hotmail.com
www.yahoo.com
www.igmarkets.com.au

actually I have no problem with www.yahoo.com, it's only when I try to go to
Yahoo mail from there that I have problem. Occassionally , I was able to oen
yahoo mail in classic fomat, but it's very much touch and go. Same thing with
hotmail and igmarkets websites.

I have no problem open other websites at all, only these three. Yes I try to
open these with my wife's PC with the same wi-fi connection at the same time
just to confirm that these three websites are all not down at the same time
(very unlikely), and these websites were operating ok (as expected) with my
wife's PC.

All these lead me to conclude that the problem have something to do with
opening website that uses messenger/data streaming technology (not that i'm
really know what I'm talking about. It's all wild guesses). But how do I fix
it??? I have to say I don't have much clue how these messenger/data streaming
work at all...

Thanx in advance

L&L
