I like using www.altavista.com, but it has locked up for me, why?

when i do a web search it clears the screen and locks up.
if i switch tabs to do a image search it works fine.

so what has happened?
has yahoo abandoned altavista?

im using chrome, and the normal yahoo.co.uk or yahoo.com work as normal.
