My sign-in page for Yahoo! is blinking

I have had My Yahoo! set as my home page for several years. Suddenly for the last 2 days when I open Internet Explorer, the sign-in page for Yahoo! appears but is flashing or blinking and does not accept any input.

    My Yahoo sign-in page also blinks in my home computer's IE7 browser. All computers are using XP Professional 32-bit. It doesn't blink in the Firefox browser on the same computer, nor does it blink in IE7 on my work computer or on my husband's computer, which is identical to mine. The computers are connected to cable modem using a cabled (non-wireless) home router.



    My "solution" so far is to access Yahoo using Firefox.

    I'm running Windows xp and IE7. Last night for the first time, my Yahoo sign in page starts blinking as soon as you hit "sign in" and accepts no input. GRRRRRR!!!!!! First a Spybot box opens, passing thru the main Yahoo page, saying it blocked "DoubleClick." Ok. So I even experimented by unclicking "DoublClick" in the Spyware Blaster. No help. Ran RegScan, Spybot, Spyware Blaster and a thorough up-to-date avast! anti-virus. The avast! found 1 malware called "NoCheat2" which I assume it fixed. Still locked out of Yahoo! A friend tried on their computer. They encountered no problem at Yahoo sign in page. Any REAL answers around here for an everyday person who is not fluent in all the shorthand? What the heck is "32-bit" for instance and how is it relevant?? A Yahoo person jump in here maybe? Just tell me how to fix it. Thanks all. m

    My solution, like Ginnie's, has been to use Firefox for internet browsing. I have anti-spyware and anti-virus installed on my computer and it does not find any malicious software. BTW, my computer is running Windows XP Professional x-64, if that makes a difference.

I would agree, it is probably a virus or spyware of some kind. Get AVG or Ewido, Spybot, and Avirab AntiVir.

Most likely a virus or spyware that redirects the page....you have any virus or spyware protection? if so run deep scans for both and clean out temp files and clear history.

The solution to the blinking Yahoo sign-in page is to delete the blocked cookie. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop, select Properties, go to the Privacy tab, select Sites, and scroll down to the Always blocked yahoo.com in the listing. Select it and click on the Remove button.

You have to change the Home Page. It depends on the browser you are using.

If you are using Internet Explorer: go to Tools- Internet Options and in the Home Page tab, type the Yahoo address.

If you are using Opera: Tools-Prefferences (or Ctrl+F12) and in the Home Page field type the Yahoo address.

If you are using Mozilla: Tools- Options and in the Home Page field, again type the Yahoo address.

And it is not necessary to have Yahoo set as home page. You can always type the address in the address tab. It is easier this way when you open a browser. You can set as home page the exact link for the sign up page: http://mail.yahoo.com

If you need further assistance, post a comment.

I have to sign in every time I check my mail. I check my mail at least four times a day. rosalee_boddy2000@yahoo.com
This could be due to a few issues.

One on your internet explorer options, you may have it set to delete cookies everytime it closes.

Two, you may not be checking the box that says keep me signed in for two weeks when you sign into yahoo mail.

If you are checking the box, then it is definetly the cookies setting on internet explorer. Go into the tools menu, internet options, and change it to where it doesnt delete settings and temporary cookies when you close internet explorer.

Also, when you are done checking your yahoo mail, do not click on sign out, or that will cause you to sign in everytime, and one final note.

After you are done using internet explorer to check you yahoo mail, dont close the internet explorer page, just type in maybe google.com or something of the sort. And leave the internet explorer window open.

( you can minimize it if you like)

Thank you for using Fixya, and please rate my solution!
