It should give a reason besides just error on page.......

no, just says error on page. it says it down at the bottom where it say's"opening page.........." and it say's "done" now down by explorer icon just above the start button. i figured out i can copy and paste then compose a new e-mail. thats a little easier than trying to remember what was wrote.

What version of IE (or another browser) are you using?

i dont know. my computer has windows xp. its about a year old. how can i find what version it is?

At the top of your IE click on HELP and then ABOUT INTERNET EXPLORER.

It would be a pretty good idea to click on TOOLS, WINDOWS UPDATE if you don't have it set to auto or haven't checked for updates recently.

it's version 6.0.2800. i did the update thing and it needed four. no change. my cousin said yahoo was doin a buch of changes and that was probably it. i dont think so cuz it aint like that at work.

Sounds like a firewall issue. Go into your TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS, SECURITY tab. Click on SECURITY, TRUSTED SITES and then the SITES tab. Add http://www.yahoo.com

The passive FTP isn't something you'll use - unless you're using your browser to FTP instead of an FTP client. I found this - try adding it to the same place I told you to add Yahoo.com in your security trusted site;
http://www.atdmt.com.....or just try turning off all your IE security settings to see if the problem goes away.
