Yahoo start page lags when loading

Hi,

I have a PC running XP with IE 6. It runs pretty well on all
websites, except my.yahoo.com, which I use as my start page. When I
open my browser, it will load the top graphic, but lag on loading the
rest for anywhere from 5-45 seconds - it always eventually loads.

If I already have the browser open on a different page and go to
my.yahoo.com, it seems to come up fine - it only seems to be right
when I open the browser that I have the problem.

I don't have the same problem when using other computers with IE 6 at
this location or when using other browsers on my computer. Only the
combination of my computer and IE 6 gives me this problem, which of
course is exactly what I need to use!

I've also tried clearing the cache and history, to no avail. I didn't
have this problem at my old house with the same setup, so I don't know
if its my new ISP (SBC Yahoo DSL) or a change Yahoo has made to their
code or something.

I've looked around on the posts and seen lots of others with similar
problems, but no real solutions. Can anyone help?
 
When was the last time you checked for parasites?

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
