Problem with my Yahoo mail account

[johnsemlak]

I seem to have triggered some sort of problem with my yahoo mail account. Whenever I am in the Yahoo mail site, the screen is completely white; most of the images don't load up, and a lot of the text is aligned to the right. It looks almost what it would look like if I selected the text of the Yahoo mail page and pasted it onto a word document.

Also, the Reply and Forward functions simply don't work.

I only have this problem on one computer. It's fine at work.

Any ideas on what this could be?

low ram?

Well, It can't be low ram I think (I have .5 GB) but if my hard drive is nearly full, could that be the cause?

A packed hard drive does slow things down significantly. I know from experience. Start backing up the stuff you dont use too often to cdr and deleting the orignal after backup. I guarantee you will notice a difference.

Have you tried clearing your browser's cache first?

Couple of things, clean out your browser cache, I've had similar problems when It got too full. And check if you have scripting turned off in your browser. The Yahoo mail page has alot of scripts running. Outside of those, Spyware, Adware or virus. I really doubt the hardrive or ram has anything to do with it, but stranger things have happened.

It sounds vaguely like a GDI leak, but that shouldn't persist after a reboot.
I'd guess it is a resource problem, possibly caused by limited storage or something running in the background. This typically happens when the system is incapable of generating new graphic objects.
Older versions of Mozilla have this problem a lot too.

Yeah, uh, of course I did that.

Umm, just in case, how do you do that on Mozilla again?
