Getting blank pages
I am occasionally getting blank pages when I go to various
websites. There does not seem to be any pattern to the sites which this happens on (eg the domain, subject of the site etc.) Sometimes other pages on the site load fine, but when I click on a link, the link opens with a blank page. The last time it happened, I was searching an internet marketing site. The list of merchants opened fine, as did a couple of the merchants' sites. When I tried to browse by category, the list of categories opened find, but when I clicked on the categories links, all I got was a blank page. The address bar read a valid address, and the bottom of the frame (on the windows bar) read "done", which it always does when I have this problem. All of the categories links got the same results. Any idea what is happening? Could settings on my Norton Security prevent certain pages from loading? I'm using Windows ME. All help would be appreciated. |

Could settings on my Norton
Security prevent certain pages from loading? I'm using Windows ME. Any Norton "product" installed on a Win ME system can cause ANYTHING to happen, 99.99% of them BAD . Dump Norton for a product that is compatible with Win ME. You could attempt a repair of Internet Explorer in Safe Mode : How to Start a Windows 98-Based Computer in Safe Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=180902 Description of the Internet Explorer Repair Tool http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=194177 IF Norton was the culprit, display problems with IE, then the repair will be "undone" by it.
