I am having a problem whenever i go into yahoo games, it will automatically
freeze for about a minute, and then it says cannot connect to server, after i
have already been on. It also says" that i might have a stale page in my
cache?? what is that???

Cache is an area that stores pages (and images etc) that you have previously
visited.
This means if you revisit the same page then the page and images can be
fetched from your hard drive rather than re-downloading it from the web
site.

A stale page is one that is considered out of date.
Try changing your browser settings to check for a newer version on each
visit.

Seems strange that a site (especially a large one like Yahoo) wouldn't have
thought of this possible flaw and forced a new page with dynamic info.

Dottie,

Your cache may also be at it's limit. Have you cleared it recently? Go to
'Control Panel > Internet Options > General tab' > Settings (Temporary
Internet Files).

* Change settings to 'Every visit to the page'
* Think about raising the amount of disk space to use (75MB), click OK
* Click 'Delete Files' to empty the cache, click OK
