My PC (Windows Vista) doesn’t want to remember my Yahoo Home Page. The “Tools\>Internet Options\>Use Current” process doesn’t work. I know it’s not Yahoo as I don’t have this problem on my laptop or office computers.

Suggested fixes appreciated.

Well, for a start, this has nothing to do with your operating system (Vista), it has to do with your browser. Which browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) are you using, and which version?
