Why does my Yahoo Mail go haywire while composing a message after upgrading to Explorer 9?

I have tried the Explorer 9 upgrade twice. Each time, my Yahoo Mail goes haywire. While composing a message:

• If I click CANCEL, it doesn’t exit compose mode.

• If I click SEND, it doesn’t exit compose mode; however, the message is sent

without notification that the action was successful.

• If I start typing in an e-mail address, Yahoo no longer comes up with a list of

possibilities.

I am using and ACER Aspire 53315-2326 laptop with Vista

Thanks for your help, fredegetz@yahoo.com

    You may need to update the Flash, Java and Net framework programs too - they are tied with the browser function.

    Explorer 9 is a great program but a lot of these older computers cant handle the updated software which if your getting that kind or reaction then you need to get on your control panal, manage programs, and delete it from your computer. Hell just stick with the older yahoo mail service its simple, effective, and just as good
