I'm unable to securyly logon to yahoomail. It just brings up a white page with nothing in it. I can logon using Standard login. I've tried it from different systems on diff networks, same problem. Does anybody know what's is going on. Thanks.

Not sure but check your browser - if you are using IE try the about Internet Explorer. What you are lookig for is to see if your version of the browser supports 128bit encryption - if it doesn't that may be the problem, as many servers have specified 128 bit encryption for their SSL pages.

Further to the last, you need to be running IE5.5 SP2 or above to get the 128-bit encryption. MS were only distributing the 40-bit(?) version up to SP1, which has caused us similar problems here. You can download the patch update from the Windows update site.

BTW, you know that with yahoomail and hotmail etc, there is no such thing as a 'secure login', right? ;-)
