    First time at any type of forum. No malware problems, I've just been researching all day on how to fix my Yahoo Mail Acct. My buttons aren't showing up at the top, i.e., Send, Forward, Reply, Delete, etc., & I have found a few steps to try, but they didn't help.

    When I looked under Troubleshooting in the Firefox area I found this and
    I have concluded that my problem is:

    Application Basics

    Name
    Firefox

    WebGL Renderer
    Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer.

    GPU Accelerated Windows
    0. Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer.

    JavaScript

    So, I need to update the graphics driver & that is how I found my way here. I had "Googled" the above statement and I found a very similiar post in which someone said it is not a good idea to download driver from the Internet. It also said better to ask one of the head "Geeks" on here to possibly assist in finding a safe one to download, & I realize this is my first time on here, I really don't want to ask, but I do alot of emailing, so the sooner it's fixed the better.

    (I do apologize for this lengthy post.) If anyone would have the time to help me w/this, I would be extremely grateful.

    Assuming that you are on Windows (what version), open the Device Manager, then expand the 'Display Adapter' section. What is your Display Adapter?

    Right-click on it and select Properties, then click on the Drivers tab; what is your current driver version & date?

    What version of windows are you running? What version of Firefox are you using?
    Is it Yahoo mail classic or the "new and improved" version of Yahoo mail?
