Hi

That link is Font Color button link in Editor window of Post reply(advanced)I am surprised how it figured there. Normally this is not known to us. You may delete this from your post just for precaution.

As for your problem, I google and found that lot many are having similar problem with Yahoo mail, mostly Beta service, which is now expired. You have to switch over to Classical Yahoo mail service till they give final version.This is , of course assuming that you are using Yahoo Beta Mail.

Some of the accepted answers are on the similar line as I told earlier. Clear history, browser cache and cookies.

Upgrade java version.

Sign out from all yahoo services.

Then from your other computer (where you are able to login) login to yahoo and switch to classic client. Then log out fully.

Then check at home computer if problem is sorted out.

Hope this works out for you.

Dear Sir,
I did all those things u mentioned except java upgradation. I am unsure how to do it as there are MS & Sun. Where to get & how to download as I googed but getting something else which are not clear to me.
I m using Yahoo classic only.
Encoding is a another prolem as If I change it to Western Eurpean (Windows) on yahoo page, it opens some times but every page it changes back to Western Eurpean (ISO). iF I change it from browser View--> encoding, then other web pages won't open.

Very Very Thanks for giving ur time to help me.
Regards
...Rao.

Here is the link to jre update.

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

And this is answers to questions like why should I upgrade

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/6000070100.xml

Actually it is an issue with Yahoo Mail service. As far as encoding part is concerned, Western (ISO-8859-I) is what defaults in my system and frankly , I never looked at this, just accepted what was default for window, that is, uptill now. I changed it to UTF-8 and pages were still loading. Changed to Wester(Windows-1252) ans still no problem.

In fact, as long as you are browsing in English, there won't be any problem. If you are browsing other languages site, then their settings and Your windows settings should match. Mostly UTF-8 works fine(unicode).

But never delved deeper into these issues.

If Yahoo Help is not good enough , then may be its time to change mail provider, after all internet is about power of choices and freedom of it.

Windows XP has a system restore function which creates restore point. With this You may not need Norton Ghost. But it creates lot of restore files. You can limit this by setting appropriate options in Control Panel >>System>>System Restore>>Settings .

I run racepro from religare in both my PC and laptop. In laptop I face no problem. But in my PC, I face a peculiar problem. when a watch list is opened, the back ground white color is painted from top to bottom slowly for some time. The window control buttons for maximize, minimize and close remain grayed. After some time it becomes OK. Graphing is a problem. It takes more time. Previously same racepro was working without any problem. As I thought soem installed software might have created problem, I reinstalled windows and updates and java. But still problem persists. Any solutions welcome. My PC is having graphic card Nvidia geforce 7300GT and monitor is LG LCD 19" with digital input.
