Internet explorer error with my.yahoo.com home page?

Question

I keep getting an error - Internet Explorer cannot open http://www.my.yahoo.com/index.html. The only fix i have found is to clear cookies and files from IE options tab. The error comes up every 2 - 3 weeks. Why??????????????

Answer 1

Are you using  IE 7 ?

There are apparently some issues with it, for example:

http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/gro...

If so, make sure you apply all the patches.

Answer 2

Try a differnet broweser and see if that fixes. Download Firefox either from http://getfirefox.com or the portable version does not require installation at all from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/fi... should work if not let me know

Answer 3

You need to set the home page as http://www.yahoo.com, not my.yahoo.com.

Click on Tools, Internet Options and enter the correct address in the home page address. Other than that, I doubt if anything much is wrong, and you don't have to change your browser to get it fixed.
