Re: Blank window for specific web site

Don,

THANK YOU!!!

I have been dealing with this same problem for months and worked around it
by using Opera to browse (but my wife wanted me to fix IE).

Ironically, your link to 281679 was the fix for my problems - the irony was
that I couldn't open the link to the article in IE, I pasted it into Opera.

So, registering all those DLLs seems to have been the magic bullet.

Any ideas on what I did to cause the DLLs to get messed up in the first place?

Thanks again!
