How can I restart a yahoo account?

What is going on in my Yahoo Email Account?

• When I try to open my Emails my Computer freezes up. Strangely this only happens in my Yahoo Email Account, and never in my People Pc Email Account ! Here is what happens : 1) I click on Mail , and get a blank page, I can't get out of it, it just freezes. I have shut down the power to my computer, and restart it. 2) Or, I click on Mail, it goes to mail page, but when I click on In Box everything freezes. I can't get out, I have to shut down the power, and restart. 3) If I get into my In Box, and click on an Email..... well, you know. 4) If I finely manage to get into an Email, and I am reading it, very frequently, it will just suddenly disappear, and in it's place is a page telling me that,"Web Page Could Not Be Found" (THIS IS WHILE I AM READING AN EMAIL !). 5) Lastly, if the Email I am reading has an Attachment, I click on that and it comes up blank, if I try to "X" out of the Attachment I will be sent back to my Desk Top ! Instead of the Email. Now, I have thought I had a Bug, but I don't have any problems like this anywhere but in Yahoo ! If I use my People Pc Email Account none of these things happen. It is making it impossable for me to use my Email Account in Yahoo, because I have to shut off my computer, and restart it 2 to 4 times before I can read any Emails, and still I can be in the middle of them, and everything goes crazy ! SO, YAHOO ! WHAT'S GOING ON ?
