Why won't Yahoo mail work in IE????

[Eric]

We have a few Win2k and win98 PC's, all with IE 6.0 SP1
that are experiencing this problem:

When we login to yahoo mail and press "compose", it just
hangs....pressing reload a few times may bring up the new
mail screen, but usually it just hangs until I force the
browser closed.

Also, if I'm lucky enough to get the compose screen to
come up or if I reply to a message...and press the "To"
or "insert addresses" buttons, I will get the popup box
but it will be blank.

I have already tried the following:
1) reinstalled IE 6
2) registered the usual dll's that are recommended in this
newsgroup in order to fix popup problems
3) Ran adaware and installed spybot
4) ran hijack this! and removed any toolbars and bad
registry entries
5) reinstalled windows and reinstalled SP4 over the
existing installation

Aside from wiping out the hard drive and reloading, I'm
stumped. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance for your
help.

Have you tried to setup a mail account for Yahoo? outlook
express\tools..... then set up identities for each user

You could try resetting your IE settings:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Internet -> Default Level.
and:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Restore Defaults.

Failing that, updating your Java Virtual Machine should fix it.

Do you have a Pop-Up application running on your PC? You may have to adjust its settings to allow for "yahoo.com" (w/o quotes) pop-ups, so that you can use yahoo mail.
