Working just fine from here.\nIf it's a particular group that you can't access, Y may have shut it down (for reasons that are often hard to fathom)\nIf it's the whole groups front-end (groups.yahoo.com), then the problem may be local to you...  try flushing the cache on your browser, in case there's been a problem or change that got cached.

I think you might have personal firewall other then window xp firewall. You can set the exception port but don't know the number Check it out in yahoo.

I work at my university's Help Desk and I might know the answer to this.  There are alot of browser issues that can occur when trying to open certain websites, such as the one you might use to check your email.  Also, some password prompts and inboxes appear as pop-ups which are blocked by IE as a default.  On a PC (assumed since you are not using Safari) go up to where it says file, edit, view, favorites, tools and help:  tools-> popup blocker and either turn it off while trying to access your email... \n\nor choose 'internet options' under tools and then under the privacy tab there is an icon for trusted sites.  After clicking the trusted sites icon, select "Sites" from below the icon list and add the website where you check your mail at (http://www.yahoo.com or http://mail.hotmail.com), but make sure that this address is correct.  There is a check box below the list of trusted sites, if this is checked it requires HTTPS verification.  If you do not recieve your mail from a server (ie just HTTP) make sure this box is not selected otherwise IE will not alow you to save the site. \n\nOther things can block popups, too; such as Norton Internet Security, google/yahoo toolbars, and most internet browsers and some ISPs (internet service providers, AOL, SBC/ATT).  \n\nThere are many, many more browser reasons why you may not be able to view your email using a specific browser such as Java and cookie settings.  SBC/ATT and MSN use a default IE broswer that doesnt allow some java and selective pop ups.  If you use either of these ISP's you might be able to use an external IE browser, try going to (again, PC assumed) start -> programs -> internet explorer.

Try setting the default settings in IE, if that is what you are using.\n\nGo to Tool>Internet Options>Advanced and then click\non restore defaults.   Maybe a setting got changed in there.\n\nIf you are running a firewall, your firewall might be blocking that site.

I think there was some slight problem with Yahoo's login pages earlier. try again, it should be ok now.

Its time to get out of the box and try alternate browsers. I recommend Opera.\n\nWell, MS did a polishing job to IE7 but could not make it anywhere near Opera or firefox. Yahoo and other selling it with corporate interest. it times to reject such things. Its your web and its your choice which browser you use. Say hello to viewable with anybroswer campaign as well. http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/index.html\n\nThose days must end when you make a site with active-X which only IE can open because it is copyrighted IE only feature.\nLets reject these and embrace alternate browsers.

if you have the yahoo toolbar, you may have to uninstall. windows is aware of the problem but does not have a fix. to keep yahoo accessible you can save as a favorite.

Maybe try it with Microsoft Internet Explorer. I've had problems with Firefox too...

Hello there. \n\nWell as you probably know by now, a solution will not always work but here are a few.\n\n1. Purge all your cookie files. This means getting rid of all the cookies that are stored on your computer, because there could be some malicious ones that prevent other sites from opening. So, in Windows Explorer...\n\na. Click on tools\nb. Go to Internet options\nc. On the 'general' tab, go to the browsing history\nd. click on 'delete' Internet temporary files\ne. apply and close\nf. close all applications and restart PC for settings to take effect\n\nAlternatively...\n\na. perform steps a. and b. from above\nb. click on 'security' tab \nc. outside 'security level for this zone square'\nd. click on 'reset all zones to default level'\ne. apply and save\nf. close all applications and restart PC for settings to take effect\n\nOr...\n\nCheck below tabs in 'Windows Internet explorer' \nor below status bar in explorer windows to see if the browser has blocked the site, and click the bar to allow the active X control...\n\nHope this helps!!

i have the same problem;  have tried deleting cookies, running my anti-spyware (I use Spybot); have tried changing home page to another site (that works) and then re-applying Yahoo as home page (still won't work); every other page within Yahoo will load up (my yahoo; yahoo Mail etc)   but the main Yahoo home page refuses to load.   any suggestions???
