BT Yahoo Browser causing difficulty

Expand Post »
Hi

I'm based in the UK and just upgraded to braodband with BT Yahoo. Part of the package is BT Yahoo Browser. Just another web browser. Everytime I click a link in an email or document etc it opens the BT Yahoo browser not IE6. I have tried checking the "check IE is the default web browser button" but it does nothing. Any idea how I get IE6 to be my only web browser or do I need to uninstall the BT yahoo browser?

Re: BT Yahoo Browser causing difficulty

OK, I too have just go btwreless broadband...I can access the ne fine, however ther are some sies the browser jsut doesnt like! I can get unto google, news sites etc however I've tried accessing sites like www.tradedoubler.com or www.CJ.com and its not letting me? any ideas what i need to change to make this happen.

All that appears is a browser cannot detect error page, oter times it launches a google search page with links to the urls im trying to find. I click on th sponsorde links and its still comes up with the browser cannot detect page!

I addition, when I try goin gto some websites such as www.hi5.com some images just refuse to load..and still i can access most sites with out having this problem...


any ideas? please help. the system is a win xp..
