Blank screen

[Joy]

Recently I updated my Internet Explorer to Ver 6 from 5 in
a PC running Windows 2000 Professional. I haven't changed
any settings. It works fine with most of the sites except
a few. For example www.hotmail.com. When I login to my
account the screen becomes blank and my hotmail page
appears only when I type again www.hotmail.com. Reloading
will give the same blank page. This happens with some
websites after login as in the case of hotmail. Some other
websites I can not access at all. Only blank screen
appears. I could access them before and even now in other
browsers and computers.

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. If you are using WinXP try this:

You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
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.
