internet explorer problem going to yahoo.com USA site from UK?

Question

Hi

From the United kindgdom I have had problems on different computers going directly to yahoo.com, explorer sends me to the uk site where I then have to click the usa flag to get to yahoo.com.

The last two days I now get error messages saying cannot connect to yahoo.com and on yahoo finance I get errors saying cannot display the chart but the chart is there.

I am using the latest Yahoo version and have spyware removal tools.

Anyone have any idea how I can get over this problem and still use internet explorer?

Answer 1

THIS IS NOT INTERNET EXPLOER!!!! People may say it is.



First I'd update to another Anti-Virus to AVG gree, you can find it at http://free.grisoft.com When downloading, it's a little tricky, make sure you click get basic protection, and then get AVG Free Edition 8.0



Then try again.



If it still doens't work, this could be a UK server thing where you internet provider is haveing problems connection to American sites, however, whether it's .co.uk or .com, the sites are the same, maybe a couple different pics because your in the UK, but the features are the same.

I am using Explorer, and I'm in the USA and I've been having problems with Yahoo the past couple weeks... it has to do a shut down because of some error, of which I never send a report... It has to be Yahoo, because I have other programs and windows open using Explorer, such as casino card game and the Casino is fine, but the yahoo window has to close...

in case you uninstalll internet explorer and look at out to apply an older version returned afterwards you are able to no longer you are able to no longer reinstall it because of the fact it is going to say "a greater moderen or this version of internet explorer is already put in in this pc". you are able to do away with particular archives from the ie itemizing as some websites direct to downgrade internet explorer or or you finally end up with severe defects like tab blunders and different crap. that's impossible that i've got got here across to get it working returned the sole way is by making use of reinstalling domicile windows or making use of a fix element till now the replace replaced into initiated.

Hey,dear~~

I think you should get rid of IE. My friends alway ask me to fix their crazy IE.

But, I tell them IE is not good to use. IE is unstable, error prone, and insecure.

U may often see IE crash like http://0rz.tw/024jV



U should try Firefox. Firefox is a web browser that is basically like Internet Explorer, but it runs 127% faster (you see the pages quicker) and also has a built in spell checker!



Firefox is an open source project, so many enthusiastic programmers trace the source code every day. Thus, firefox has become more and more robust!



Give yourself a nice browsing experience.

Try and use firefox and if it works on firefox then it is an internet explorer prom and if it doesn't work on firefox then the links on the yahoo website are all messed up
