It's not just "Beta" it's classic too. Every day I have to go to the task manager and get out of IE. It only has happened so far on IE not Firefox. I've read all the similar posts, seems to be a major problem affecting lots of people. It affects: XP, Vista, IE6, IE7, Netscape and more, is Yahoo doing anything about this?
Yahoo Email locks up?microsoft updates If you click a button or link and nothing happens for an unusually long time, your browser is "hanging" or "freezing" (they're the same). This means that it's either waiting for information from a server or busy processing internally.
At certain times of the day, traffic on the Internet can be very heavy, and you might have to wait a little bit longer for a response from our servers. It's not that the load on our servers is too great, but rather that the lines connecting our server with your computer are too busy. The Internet can sometimes experience bottlenecks and traffic jams, just as freeways do.
Delays caused by heavy traffic shouldn't last more than a few minutes鈥擮K, you're right, that's different from freeways. But anyway, if one does last longer than a few minutes, the best solution is usually to resubmit your request by clicking the same button or link again.
If your browser hangs or freezes frequently, it might help to clear your browser's cache. To do this, follow the steps below for your browser and version.
In the "Tools" menu, choose "Internet Options." This opens the "Internet Options" window.
You want to be in the "General" tab, the first tab to the left along the top of this window. If you're not in this tab, select it.
Locate the "Temporary Internet Files" heading and click the "Delete Files" button within that section. This opens the "Delete Files" window.
In this window, either click "OK" directly, or, first check the box marked "Delete all offline content" if you'd like to do this as well鈥nd then click "OK." You might have a brief wait while this operation is performed. The "Delete Files" window closes and returns you to the "Internet Options" window.
Locate the "History" heading and click the "Clear History" button within that section. This opens an "Are you sure鈥?quot; box. Click "Yes." The box closes, returning you to the "Internet Options" window.
Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the "Internet Options" window.
Close and re-start Internet Explorer.

I've had the same problem with IE7, but not with the Yahoo browser even tho it's essentially an IE derivative or piggyback or whatever. I only use IE for Microsoft updates.
