The babysitter apparently played on my computer the other night, and now I
need help. I don't know what she did to it, but now I cannot get any of
Yahoo's web pages to open. I keep getting the message that I have no internet
connection, but it will go to any other web site. I can't go to yahoo.com or
my yahoo mail, etc...If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know...
 
Four things to try:

1. Clear your TIF and History completely:

2. Check your Cookies folder and delete any cookies that relate to the
sites in question.

3. Check your Hosts file as per this article:

More info on the Hosts file:

4. Got to a Command prompt (Start...Programs...Accessories) and type in:

ipconfig /flushdns

Hit Enter.
