    I did that and restored it all but the problems are still here. I have yahoo new mail and can log on but when I switch to yahoo classic it works.

    What happens when you try the "new view" in Yahoo.

    There is always "system restore" to try

    A guide of sorts here

    When I try new view it doesn't let me access the mail. When I access a site via my bookmarks, the home page is fine until I log onto my account etc then the pages are all over the place minus the pictures etc. When I go through google and bookmark the site again then it's fine. Maybe I should system restore and uninstall the CCleaner if this is what happens.

    Kimberley I know nothing about Vista, but if it has the system restore points like XP, then these take up quite a bit of disc space and will help slow the computer. You can delete all the system restore points except the last one. I did that and recovered almost 10% of disc space.

    If Vista does not have restore points then please ignore the above.:o
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    I did the system restore back to yesterday, but some sites I still have problems with, like the Natwest site, it's all funny and yahoo new mail still won't let me in but the classic way will. Also there is nothing in the restore points bit to delete them :confused:

    I also still cannot see the MSE logo at the top, just Martins face.
