That is, I can log on but the pages load incompletely and I can't get into my email on Yahoo or Excite. DU works fine, other sites work fine. Any ideas? I've done everything I can think of.

3. Meh, you dont need to go to any of those webpages anyway...
:rofl:

Jk, try clearing cookies and history, etc..

In Firefox under tools (I think) there is an option to clear private data, give that a go and see if it works.

5. I did all that. I know the basics
which is why it's annoying the heck out of me. The hospital job search goes through my Yahoo, as does everything that has to do with childcare/the husband who yesterday said he wanted to get the divorce going.

6. Have you tried a restart?
I know it sounds ridiculous, but it may work.

Beyond that what anti-virus and anti-spyware software are you running?

Jason.

8. I'm using McAfee Security Center.
And yes, I restart whenever I make a critical change. But hey, I gave up, walked away and now, three hours later it's working fine!

Time heals all wounds, as they say. :)

7. Must have been a problem with MySpace
It's one of the flakiest sites I know. It's pathetic. It seems to be okay now. :hi:
