Hi jltn :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Blank Pages:

Go to Start|Run and enter "regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll" (without the
quotes). After you get a Success message, re-boot. If that doesn't work,
then check out the following article and do the additional steps outlined
there:

BUG: Microsoft Internet Explorer Displays a Blank Page While It Uses an HTTP
1.0 Request in a WinInet Application

or................

Go to "Start" -> "Run" -> and register the following dll's by using
regsvr32 command. Try teh first 2, then see if it resolves the problem. If
not then register the rest of the .dll's:

      regsvr32 urlmon.dll?
      regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

      regsvr32 scrrun.dll?
      regsvr32 msxml.dll?
      regsvr32 mshtml.dll?
      regsvr32 shdocvw.dll?
      regsvr32 browseui.dll
      regsvr32 msjava.dll?

Blank Pages - Windows

or.....................

You get a blank page:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message:

DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.

4. If that doesn't fix it, see this article:
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

5. If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which is
probably in the Win98 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM
(typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for
WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) looks for the
file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been
successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.

Resetting security level to default "medium" resolved issue

Go to Start|Run and enter "regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll" (without the
quotes). After you get a Success message, re-boot. If that doesn't work,
then check out the following article and do the additional steps outlined
there:

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
