I have just upgraded all my pcs to we7. On one pc, i cant get it to work. It seems to "hang" trying to open the yahoo home page. I am all connected up (a "ping" to yahoo gets returned with all data). Does anyone have any ideas?

You are talking about Internet Explorer 7, are you not? There are many problems with this version, and a lot of people just can't get it to run successfully. A lot of websites don't accept it yet, they are still set up for IE6. It does cause hangs and a lot of other things. The only suggestion I have is to uninstall it and let the computers revert back to IE6. In the months ahead, Microsoft will get all the bugs out, but for now, it's not good.
Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and the Show updates box at the top. When the list loads, find IE7 and click to remove it. After removal, close Control Panel and restart the computer so the change will take effect. It will revert back to IE6, and I think your hang-up problem will be over.

A system hanging may be caused by not having enough memory. IE7 does need more resources to run smoothly. As far as your Menu Bar, there is a tweak available ot fix that.
IE7 Menu-on-Top Tweak is a simple registry tweak that puts the menu bar back on top, where it is normally found in Windows applications (see screenshot). The zip file includes the .reg file to install the tweak, as well as .reg file to uninstall. Works well.

Like many people, I installed IE7, and had many problems. So believe me, there is no improvement at all. Do as we are all saying here and uninstall it at your remove programmes screen. You will have to restart your PC, but everything will go back to normal and you should be off and running again with good old IE6

I had the same thing happen to me. I removed the IE7 program (add & remove programs under the Control Panel Option) and then reloaded it and is has worked fine since then.
Good luck and merry, merry.
