You ordinarily can. If you can't, I'm sorry but I don't have the information needed to tell you why. You have two possible courses: (1) resubmit to us providing full details--exactly what you did and what happened, including the precise text of any error messages; or (2) use this form to invite Yahoo to phone you (it's essentially impossible to get help by your phoning Yahoo).
