There's no issue of recognition or non-recognition of your computer, as Yahoo operates "in the cloud" (independent of any computer). The issue may stem from an outdated browser or overloaded cache. A good first step is to clear your cache and cookies (see your browser's help section if you don't know how) and restart your computer. Links for updating various browsers may be found on this Facebook page (even though it's not a Facebook issue).
