If you are getting anything from that site at all with Scripting set to Prompt
you should be getting an immediate "Scripts are usually safe..."
(without clearing the screen or showing anything new.)

Try testing your connectivity to that site using telnet from the command
line. Enter:

    telnet -f telnet.txt www.microsoft.com 80

when the screen clears paste (you won't be able to see it written):

    GET http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/default.asp

Then press Enter. Examine the capture file telnet.txt for clues
if what appears on the screen isn't sufficient.

BTW notice that others have been having difficulties accessing that domain
as long as they have some third-party programs installed such as the
Google toolbar. The Yahoo Companion toolbar has previously been
implicated with other problems. So it might be an idea to try uninstalling
all such programs while you are diagnosing your symptom.

Good luck
