I think I might be able to help you.
Really, the best thing for you to do is uninstall AOL and get yourself an ISP that doesn't suck (sorry, I just hate AOL), but in the meantime:
1) Minimize the AOL window. When done correctly, you'll find that you're looking at your desktop.
2) Open another IE window, ignoring the AOL window completely and just using this as your internet connection.
3) Go to Yahoo and type in your username and password.
If this doesn't work, it's possible that your mom checked that little box that said something like, "Remember this username and password and use it for everything I do online." Bad. That can give you security issues. You can change that via the preferences on AOL, I would think. You don't use anything like Gator, do you?
Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
