Blank Webpages & Secure Site Problems

[Guest]

Hi,
I've been having problems lately online. Some pages that I used to go to
all the time like photobucket ( Http://www.photobucket.com ) now come up
blank. I have not only things stored on there for work but also for family
and all I get is a blank page. That's been happening on some other sites too
although the majority are still ok but I also have a graphics group that I
belong too that I have to pay for and now I get a blank page for it too.
Also on some sites like paypal, I can sign in but when its going through
the sign in process it comes up as object not found error 404 I believe and
then If i refresh it then it signs the rest of the way in. I've been reading
all these tips and everything but can't find excatly what addresses this
combination and Im afraid of changing too many things and just causing more
problems. It's interferring with my work nad personal cause of these
problems. Does anyone have any idea or at least steer me in the right
direction. I've been having trouble for over 3 weeks and just don't know
what else to try?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You don't mention what browser you are using, but if you're using Internet
Explorer with Service Pack 1, you could have a look at this page:

"Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page after
you select Auto-Select encoding"

If a spyware scan solves your last problem, BTW, it may also solve your
first problem.

Try something as simple as flushing your DNS. Go>start>run and type in cmd
and click ok or hit enter on your keyboard then type in
ipconfig /flushdns
then hit enter on your keyboard and try again. You may have to go into any
host file that you are using and delete any entry for the site that you are
trying to access. If using a Host file application you should be aware that
they rarely work and are extremely easy to bypass. Post back if you need
more. TTFN.
