Hello

If you're using the NEW My Yahoo! page, locate and select 'Personalize this page', select 'AUTOREFRESH | ON', select 'Close' on the right corner to save and exit Personalization.   This option is not available with My Yahoo! 'Classic'.

If you're still using My Yahoo! Classic try these maintenance items, especially 1. & 2.  

___1. On Internet Explorer (IE) menu click 'Tools', click 'Internet Options', click 'General' tab, at 'Browsing history' click 'delete' temporary files, click 'OK' to exit. Repeat periodically. With email or internet usage weekly or monthly temporary file deletion is recommended.

___2. Increase the browser disk space allotment. On the menu again click 'Tools', click 'Internet Options', click 'General' tab, scroll to browsing history, set 'Disk space usage' at 250MB or 500MB, click 'OK' to finish.

___3. If you're using XP some systems did not ship with Java. For XP and VISTA and MAC download and install the latest version at http://www.java.com/

___4. Many Yahoo! advertisements are Flash Player oriented and you may need to install the newest version, XP and VISTA and MAC  http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

It may be time to leave Classic for the New My Yahoo! page.

Best wishes,

You may possibly have a corrupt cache file -- it makes all KINDS of things go wonky. Try this: clear your history, temporary files (these will take a while!) & cookies, restart the computer and retry.
