One word.... "engineers". They love to change things (I know because I am one).

The web is a constantly changing tapestry of software. The programs flow over it like paint on a canvas. Improvements get made and implemented. Sometimes they work, sometimes not.

Since everyone has a different setup there is no way to make sure everything will always work. This is the philosophy of Apple with the Macintosh, and the game console makers with things like the Xbox. If they force everyone to have the exact same setup they can make things work better. Less variance, more stability.

Anyway, enough of the soap box...

In most cases the issue will be on your PC. Browsers get clogged up over time and need to be cleaned out. Also po-up blockers break the web. That's what they are intended to do and some do it very well.

Try this. Shut off any filters of pop-up blockers you have on. Then try to purge your browser. Full instructions on how to do that can be found here: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache

Once this is done try Yahoo again. If it still doesn't work try another browser. If you use Internet Explorer try Mozilla Firefox, or Opera, and vise verse.

Good luck.
