How do I switch from Yahoo Mail Classic to regular Yahoo Mail?

My daughter's email account somehow got switched to Yahoo Mail Classic--which she doesn't want. But when we try to switch it back to Yahoo Mail (non-Classic), it attempts to go directly to "New Yahoo Mail", and then gives her a message that, "The newest version of Yahoo! Mail isn't available for you just yet."

She doesn't necessarily want the brand new version of Yahoo Mail--the one that "New" Yahoo Mail just replaced would do just fine. She just doesn't want Classic. How do we get her account changed to use that??

Thanks!

Update:

Echinopsis--

I'm working on her computer right now. I can get into my "New Yahoo Mail" on her computer just fine. Screen resolution is 1440x900. I'm not sure how to enable/disable Javascript--but the fact that I'm able to use New Yahoo Mail just fine seem to indicate that neither of those are the issue. Any other suggestions???

    Sorry, but the newest Mail version replaced the one before it. It's either that or Yahoo Mail Classic, and when your daughter gets the message that she can't have the newest version yet, she may have disabled Javescript and/or may have a low screen resolution.
