Blank Internet Explorer pages

[David Mitchell]

Strange Problem. On one system in the office, with IE6.0
on it, the page loads, shows the 'words' such as loading
jpg, etc...., says done but there is a completely blank
screen, no error, no anything. This happens also with
AOL on the same system.

Once again, pages loads correctly, no errors, but a
totaly white screen shows up, no anything, ive tried
several different websites on it, same results. any
ideas?

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:

5. Try this:

Go to Start | Run, and type SFC.
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk'.
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 folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically
D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System, and click OK. System
File Checker 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.
