I spent yesterday w/same thing. I think I need to check
for spyware, etc. I downloaded SP2, but every time I try
to get into MS IE, I either get the Blank page or it
tries to launch at the
following: "badurlgrandstreet.com" or something like
this (i have it written down at home). Also I can't
control the pop us and then is just takes forever to get
rid of them and the blankpage....Is the problem spyware
or adware that needs to be checked for and removed??
