Windows XP service pack

Last night I downloaded the brand new Windows XP service pack. This morning my home page yahoo.com is in black in white, yet all other web pages are indeed in colour. What can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks

I downloaded it too. No problems. I can't see why this would be the problem with Yahoo. All of mine have colour too, except I spell it color.

The word 'color' or 'colour' may be spelled in BOTH ways.

The "Yahoo" home page is indeed in B&W today. However, I'm wondering just why they feel that a B&W page serves to respect the memory of 9/11. IMO we should all spend some time today pausing and reflecting on the horrible events of one year ago. But, at this early hour, I have already seen and heard a tremendous amount of overkill by the broadcast media. I guess that the Internet is no less vulnerable to hype and self importance.

The reason for the black and white Yahoo homepage is for showing respect for 911.

Well, the real shame of it all is that you see this "overkill" of reflection all of a sudden. I haven't seen it in a WHILE, and all of a sudden , everyone jumps on the bandwagon. IT SHOULD BE LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME. From what I see around here, people went back to their lives relatively quickly, forgetting about all the death and sacrifice that occured on and AFTER September 11. I think some people acknowledge Sep 11th when it's convenient for them and it's the "in" thing to do at the time. Notice I said SOME, and not MOST. I'm not trying to open up a can of worms here or start something that will go out of control.

I can tell you I think about it alot, and experience many emotions. September 11th was the event that landed me in Afghanistan, and ultimately in a deadly helicopter crash which I am still trying to recover from. I don't need a date on a calendar to tell me what happened to America and what we did to punish those terrorists.......................My back reminds me every single day. Especially when it's cold and raining. I fractured my spine in the crash, have a bunch of metal in there now, and there's a chance I may never fly again. But I know there were thousands of people who will never get to do ANYTHING again.

And you know what? I wouldn't take it back for the world. Prosecuting a war for my country was the greatest honor ever bestowed upon me, and I would go again in a heartbeat. When I'm cleared to go back to my squadron and get "back in the saddle", my name will be the first on the list to go to war again if we do.
