When i goto yahoo.com when i try to click on the links (mail, messenger, hot
jobs), those links don't work. It won't let me click on them at all. then i
go on my laptop and click on them it works and everything. i think something
is wrong with my settings or something. it used to work before(my 1 yr old
son was caught clicking on my computer and ever since then I have had
problems with the website). Please someone help me!!!

Hi,

Close Internet Explorer and Outlook Express if either are open.

Start/run "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the quotes)

Control panel/Internet options/programs tab, click on "reset all web
settings"

Reopen and retry the links in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
