Hi Don, yeah, I meant it was NOT specific to this PC. My neighbor couldn't
get into her yahoo mail acct, and this approached worked for her, too. She
was running XP Home SP3 and IE8 on an 8 year old HP laptop with 256k ram.
This machine is using Visa SP2, but the same thing happens on my XP Pro SP3
desktop, too. Both are running IE8, also a desktop in Florida running XP
Pro SP3. is also running IE8. When I connect at the local library, I can
just type in the password and access the site.
Thanks for the tip about the add-on. I'll look into that and report back.
