I'm having problems with yahoo website not loading properly. It just looks like links, all lined up on the left side of the screen in a column. I've resorted to using chrome, but hate it greatly. I'm a bit older, and not highly technically savy, so any help would be appreciated. I've cleared my browsing history and cache already, to no avail. An image of what my screen looks like is attached. Thanks again....

Hi   !

Would you disable AdBlock Plus and see if that makes a difference  ?

Separate issue :

Your system details show four versions of Shockwave Flash, which can cause major problems. So, please uninstall them.

Uninstaller : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Then re-install the latest version, whic his 27.0.0.130 You can download te latest version from here : https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Note : some 'extras' may be offered in the download.

Thanks so much Happy112, that did the trick. Can't believe it was that simple, but now I know one potential solution to try first. Also, thanks for the advice on the shockwave flash (not sure what that does, or how one even gets 4 of them, but ok). I've taken all the steps you suggested, and there wasn't any pain involved either! Have a great day, and thank you once again.

There are other things that need attention.

I've noticed in the System Details list that you appear to have 2 Shockwave Flash plugins installed

  1. Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
  2. Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0
  3. Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0
  4. Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
