    When I receive a file or a picture in my Yahoo email. I cannot open or enlarge. When I click on the link or pic all it does is open a FF blank page. This happens regardless of the ext (jpg, pps, etc). I have a Dell 4600, Home XP and plenty of ram and hd dr. Any Ideas? thanks

    There is a yahoo photo download add-on if I recall but might be for premium members. but in general you have to download them.

    "Clicking View beneath an attached image does not open the image immediately for viewing, unfortunately. View first scans the attachment for viruses. When no virus threat is detected, you can click the Download Attachment button to either open or save the image."

    Maybe it was a yahoo update you downloaded? But this rule has been for maybe a year now... I don't go into my free yahoo accts much, my premium ones are pop with windows live mail, so does not apply. Think it was an effort to stop viruses by yahoo if I recall...
