I use Netscape 7.0 on PC Win ME and Communicator 4.77 on Mac G4 OS 9.2 (& osX 10.2).
This problem is common to both (this may be a clue)
I share the phone line and dial up ISP.

What happens is: When I log on to Yahoo for my email, if I leave the mouse button on the window the next page has the side bar and top bar, but the contents and/or email is off to the right, and I have to scroll over to see it, which is all crushed up. IF I click a link to email/folder etc AND immediately move the mouse to the top of the screen this does not occur.
I sent emails to Yahoo and they blame my ISP. Who in turn blame Yahoo.

If this is an ISP problem, which has only happen a couple of months ago, does anyone have any idea how I can address the problem?

Your ISP could not be the culprit in this problem. The ISP only provides your connection to the Internet. Yahoo actually writes the code for the specific mail page. I have three suggestions:

-Try adjusting your screen resolution. In Windows, right-click on the desktop and choose properties. Go to settings and try setting the resolution higher or lower to see if that resolves the problem. Try 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 to see if that resolves the problem.

-Go to edit...preferences...advanced...cache and choose to clear cache. Sometimes a stale page in the cache causes video corruption.

-Consider using this program:
http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/
It allows you to access your Yahoo e-mail without using the web interface. You could then access your mail directly through Netscape Mail & Newsgroups just like a Netscape Webmail account.

Good luck with your problem and let me know if any of this helps. I might be able to come up with some more suggestions if this doesn't work...

By the way the program to get Yahoo in Netscape works, but Yahoo will jump all over you, if have a free account. I tried it, and the first and only message I got was to remind me to pay whatever is the fee.

I have done the following

1/ Reset the video resolution. Did nothing except spread all my desktop icons all over the place.

2/ Netscape Prefs. Changed to clear cache each session. No change

Q: Why has this happened on both MAC and PC at the same time? I suspect that Yahoo had implimented something new at their email site which caused this effect. Strange however that the software is different vs on both machines.
