Have you run spyware, virus and malware checks? Have you tried IE in Safe Mode with no addons running? Is it just this page that it does this with or all pages?

I would wager to guess that it is just taking that long for IE to load. Start IE and then wait for it to fully load. Then try to load the yahoo.ca page. I bet you it loads just fine then.

The lag you are seeing is from IE just trying to start up.

I use a blank home page. While I use Yahoo email, I prefer to choose where I go first instead of it being thrown at me.

Name is Mak. Not my real pic....today.

What do you mean color to look like IE? Take a screen shot with the PrntScn key and then open Paint and Paste that in there. Then save it as a JPEG file and upload it to ImageShack or Photobucket and use teh IMG Tags and post them here. So we can see what you are trying to describe.
