Hi Ollie
Try the following and see if it helps, as it applies to your OS..and if
you can't access the suggested lonks then use another computer to do so
and print out the inforamtion to use for your machine.
Blank - Empty - White Pages
Go to Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom Levels> Check to Enable
"Allow META Refresh."
Go to Start>Run> and register the following dll's by using
regsvr32 command. Try the first 2, then see if it resolves the problem.
If
not then register the rest of the .dll's:
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll
If that doesn't work, then check out the following article and do the
additional steps outlined
there:

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 you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_Default_Browser.reg
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.

Try disabling *all* other programs, including virus scanners, to see if
there is an improvement. If not, proceed as follows:
You may have a broken entry in file associations:
Go to my computer, view/folder options/file types (or control panel,
folder
options depending on your operating system).
Scroll down to the URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocols, click edit twice
and
make sure the following is in the application used to perform action
box:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
The same applies for URL:Gopher
DDE should be set to: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application should say: IExplore
DDE application not running should be blank
Topic should be: WWW_OpenURL
Note: If the IE repair tool is available to you (control panel,
add/remove
programs, highlight IE, select add/remove) - running a repair will often
fix
the above associations automatically.

You may need to scroll down the page to the text.
It is also very possible that you have some type of scumware on your
system that is causing this problem. Work through the information here
and see if that helps.
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Be aware, there are many types of scumware that your antivirus and some
removal tools cannot detect or remove. Therefore, use the programs as
described in the instructions here. Some variants can continue to
replicate themselves each time your computer starts up if not properly
removed.
If still no joy, then you may have to run a repair of your OS

You will need to uninstall any post IE6-SP1 Win2K SPs before you
uninstall/reinstall IE. You will also have to go to the Windows Update
and reinstall all the necessary updates after the reinstall.
Hope this helps.

How to make a good newsgroup post:
http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm
I already posted 2 days ago that my IE does not function anymore
correcly. I
tried everything I was told but nothing helped.
I have IE6 SP1 on W2K SP4 (see post 'IE 6 hangs by opening a new window
1/31/2006 2:39 PM PST')
The problem is easy to describe: Each time I click on a link from
within IE
and and this likk will open a new window I get an empty Window
skeleton. The
Globe is spinning, the Menus and toolbars are there but the frame body
is
transparent.
The same happens if I click on a link out of Word, Outlook or any other
program that will call IE, The window is an empty skeleton.
The only possible way to see websites is to enter the URL directly into
the
Addressbar or click on one of my bookmarks. There the page is displayed
correctly. If I follow a link within a correct displayed website and
the new
link will be displayed in the same window, everything is normal. Again
only
if a nbew Window is opened.
At this point, I am extremly frustrated. In the meantime I installed
Firefox
but I still would like to go back to IE.
I tried to figure out how to uninstall IE from my system and install it
new
again but I could not find how I can do this.
Any help ar suggestions are gladly appreciated,
Ollie
