Every time I do anything this 'blank page' pops up and won't go away until I
start Task Manager and close it. It keeps coming back and all I want to do
is prevent it from loading every time I do anything or start windows.

Anyone else have a problem like this??????

My parents had this issue as well. Doing some searching, a common theme was
that people who had a program called Incredimail had this issue.

My mother has uninstalled the program, and hasn't had the issue again - but
that was only today. I will ask her again in a week and re-post.
 
Thank you for your information. I unistalled the program called Incredimail
and the problem ended. I went to Control Panel, Programs and Features,
looked for Magentic/Incredimail and uninstalled it also.

Hi
I started this thread last March and am still having problems with the
'blank page'. I have had a computer technician to my house and my machine
cleaned with Anti-Virus software, registry cleaners and then I will download
something from Windows Update and GUESS what - the HATED blank screen is back
after spending hundreds of dollars to get rid of it. I think it is an issue
with Windows Vista - and no one seems know how to get rid of it. I have
contacted Microsoft and was treated as if it was "ALL IN MY MIND". If anyone
finds a solution I sure would like to have it or know what it is. I hate
using my computer now and I hate WINDOWS VISTA.

Sorry for all the money you spent. I was getting ready to do the same
thing. After reading this discussion group and my experience, it seems to be
a permanent problem. I have written to Microsoft with no reply. I have
tried everything mentioned in this group to no avail. The page I get is
completely blank with no indication of its origination. I too use the task
manager to get rid of it. I shows up on the manager as "Blank Internet
Explorer Page". I use Firefox and was beginning to think my arm was being
twisted to use IE. Go figure. I'm at a complete loss. I do have another
ridiculous problem if anyone can help me. I have a document in Works that I
cannot delete. I tried to go all over the computer to get rid of it. I
beginning to go wacko with this Vista.
 
well there were still some from august, only 4 months ago

*Only* four months ago? Four months is a *very* long time for a thread
to stay alive. As a general rule, you should never reply to anything
anywhere near that old, since it will have died long ago.

and there will
still be more or new people with this prob not just from 2007. like me i
just joined today with the new prob so im sure theres others.

If you have a problem and want to make a post about it, please ignore
old threads. Just start a new thread and state your problem.

Also my very strong recommendation is that you do *not* post via
vBulletin USENET gateway. That's one of those disreputable web-based
services that leech messages from newsgroups and send the messages you
post to us here in the newsgroup. You've ended up in the Microsoft
newsgroup microsoft.public.windows.vista.general on the news server
msnews.microsoft.com.

Using any web-based access to the newsgroups, even Microsoft's, is the
slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there is. Do yourself a
favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes
with Windows XP, or Windows Mail, which comes with Vista.

You may have expected privacy when you joined the TechArena forum (with a
User name and password and everything). But, as Ken said, TechArena
forwarded your "private" message to the Microsoft public news server, which
posted it here in the Microsoft public newsgroup (also known as Microsoft
Communities) for all the world to read. But TechArena did not bother to
send along the prior messages in that thread, so we haven't the slightest
clue as to what you meant when you started your post with, "I had this same
problem..."

TechArena and similar forums do a valuable service - but they also violate
the privacy of their members without disclosing that they are forwarding
messages outside their forum. They also don't always inform their members
that the answers posted in the forum actually came from these Microsoft
public newsgroups or other sources.

To "cut out the middleman" and post your question directly to this newsgroup
(It's free and does not require a login), just click here:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

That one click should bring you right back here, but in the newsreader
format, using your default newsreader (probably Outlook Express or Windows
Mail). After reading a few messages for familiarization, you can customize
OE/WM in several ways to suit yourself.

Try it. I think you'll like it. ;<)

I have the same problem -why can't windows just tell me the answer??
I hope you got your problem solved. I don't understand why I have to find a
discussion group to further delay what should be a simple reply from
microsoft!
Amazing. Judy

Hi Judy.

I love hummingbirds. :)

Regarding your problem, could you please provide more information about
the blank page that pops up? Is it an internet explorer blank page?
What is the program or process in task manager say when you close it
from there? More info would help us help you with this.

is there a process running associated with it which you can terminate
from Task Manager, rather than taskbar?
When terminating select "end process tree", rather than a single process
file listed.

Thank you for your tip it got rid finally of the blank page by
uninstalling Majestic, but it still will only let me have a solid color
for a desktop background. I just want to use one of windows
backgrounds.
Do you have any clues about this?

And thanks again thanks for getting rid of that blank page!!!!
