blank pages, source exits, page can be seen after file save and open.

[Avi Nahir]

"Blank pages" problem started about a week ago and is getting worse.
It happens on more and more sites but it's not a one/zero issue - even
with the site which suffers the most from this problem, I sometimes
can see the page.

I've started the computer with MSConfig disabling all startup programs
(anti-virus, pop up blocker etc.). Also set all security and privacy
settings to low (am I taking a risk .

Now, the strangest part I discovered today: If I do "view source" it
turns out the blank page contains HTML, with content. And when I save
the "viewed source" to disk and tell the browser to open it, I see the
page as desired! It's not blank!! But if I tell the browser to save
the "blank" page to disk(which we have just checked contains html),
the HTML isn't saved!!

Any ideas?

Hi Warren.

Thank you for your answer!

I have Windows XP. I'd like to start, however, with something less
"radical" then reparing IE or the OS.

Unbelieveably, changing the encoding solved this.
