why does logging onto yahoo email poision my system ?

[Guest nucleus]

am on dial-up speed, and frequently when attempting to logon to yahoo

email

using IE6, at such long waits, i notice that there appears to be

unused time

on the communication through the ISP, so i multitask by calling up

google or

some other website. then, something is poisoning my online capability

and i

cannot get any online communication. this is happening frequently

enough to

be annoying. i call it poisoning because i then cannot do any online

activity

either with IE6 or Firefox.

 

i have tried closing the isp link and initiating a new link, does not

help, the

online capability is gone. only rebooting will solve the problem.

 

am using XP pro SP2 with all the SP3 updates that MS provides.

 

if i allow yahoo to complete its logon without any multitasking, there

is no

problem. that is why i suspect yahoo is poisoning something.

 

anybody got any idea how i can circumvent this problem without having

to reboot?

Solution: don't multitask when logging on to Yahoo Mail.

 

You're welcome.

 

Your bill will be in the mail tomorrow.
