Please ignore.  For some reason both are working now.  On the laptop, I had to delete the dell.msn.com feed, and send a new Internet Explorer icon to desktop to launch.  For the desktop, I had to reenable an add-on for Yahoo.  Is there a way to complete this post so that it is no longer requiring responses?   Thanks everyone!
This is my first post, so this may be in the wrong location?   recently on both Vostro 1320, and destop Dimension 5100, I have trouble getting Yahoo! to load.  This has just been within the last week or so.  Has anyone else encountered it/  I have a Lenovo in same room (Win 7) and it has no trouble loading - quick Yahoo load. What could be stopping this on my Dell's? Thanks!    
Dell Laptop & Desktop, both Win XP, trouble loading Yahoo!
