[Guest]

Internet Explorer continually displays a blank page with above message. The
page directs me to REFRESH. After 3 or 4 REFRESH the page will often appear,
sometimes not. The system is clean of viruses. Internet Explorer 6 with
Service Pack 2. Thank you for your help.

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://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/26.html

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870863

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.

You would see this symptom if your DNS was slow doing a lookup for you.
You would see the latter symptom if your DNS was unable to complete
that lookup for you.

The system is clean of viruses. Internet Explorer 6 with
Service Pack 2.

Instead of doing an immediate Refresh the next time this happens try
switching to a cmd window to use nslookup to do the lookup first
(or use ping -n 1 or tracert which would have a similar effect providing
the server name is not listed in your HOSTS file.)

If nslookup times out trying to do the lookup you have your answer.


Post a specific example if you want more help.

Thank you for your help.
