Yahoo loading incorrectly

[Jace2184]

This problem has gotten worse over the last couple of weeks.  It started off as yahoo loading fully but all the photos were a solid red square.  Now when yahoo loads most of the page is a red blob.  I have no idea as to what could be wrong.  I have ran anti virus and anti spy ware applications.  I have looked in my settings and nothing has worked. I thought it may have been Java Script related but after looking around that has not worked either.  The computer in the other room loads yahoo fine.  I am running windows xp with dsl and a router.  I use internet explorer 7.

Try clearing the cache.

Empty the IE cache

The first thing to do when Internet Explorer is misbehaving is empty your Internet Explorer cache. Often the cache is not corrupt or damaged – it is simply too large.
1. Click Tools, then Internet Options, and then click the Delete Files button.
2. A Delete Files window will appear.  Select the option to Delete all offline content, and then click OK.
3. Click Settings and reduce the size of your cache to, say, 50 to 100 MB (more if you routinely download very large files).
This will invariably fix the dreaded red x, View, Source, and sometimes "Page cannot be displayed" errors.

I tryed it and it is still not working.  Again the page has a red like blob right in the middle of it.  All images load as a red box not an x.  The pc in the other room loads fine. Thanks though. Any other ideas?

In IE, go Tools>Internet Settings>Advanced tab, click on "Reset" button.
Restart computer.

That happened alot when I used Internet explorer and AOL?

It still is not working.  Im not getting a red x though.  The actual box where the graphic should be is totally red.  Not a X. The yahoo label at the top of the page is totally redded out.  There is just a red rectangle at the top of the screen.

Its funny because the page loads fine on my other pc.  It runs the same explorer.  I cant figure out what is wrong.

See, if same thing happens in Firefox.

I didnt have firefox so i went and downloaded it... It is doing the same thing.  Has to be something setting related.

* Click "Make Hosts Writable?" in the upper right corner (If available).
* Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts file and then click OK.
* Click the X to exit the program.
* Note: If you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself.

Just did it.  Nothing.  Maybe I am not suppose to view yahoo on here

Go Start>Run, type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK.
Have XP CD handy.

[Jace2184]

While doing this a pop up wants me to insert the xp cd 2.  This is a dell computer and I only have the one cd that has operating system written on it.  Would those files be on any of the other discs I  have.  One disk is drivers and utilities.

[Broni]

Those CDs won't help.
