I've been messing with the same problem for most of the day today. I can't
seem to find a solution. I'm running SP2 XPpro and IE6. I've tried
installing Netscape and I get the same exact problem.
Problem: certain pages don't load, most load though.
Here are some pages that I get a blank white page with the "done" at the
bottom:

I've wiped out all spyware and adware with: ad-aware and spybot.
I've tried the run> regsvr32 urlmon.dll... all 6 microsoft recommended.
I've tried run> sfc /scannow
I've tried more stuff but don't remember exactly what.
No, popup ware is running... nothing silly going on. My other computer on
the same network is running 98se and opens the above websites fine.
Some genius please help! I usually figure things out with in a few hours,
but this one has really killed me.
Thanks, Joe joe@joeatyourservice.com
