Whenever I acess certain pages, specifically windowsupdate and netscape.net
I get a blank screen with DONE and no errors. For example, when I go to
check email on netscape.net site, after enter my username, password I get a
blank screen it says Done at the bottom and no errors. I am using XP SP2 IE6

Check your assumptions. Is it really blank? Use View Source.

From my reply to Kris who had the same symptom:

<excerpt>
FWIW I can reproduce Kris (OP) symptoms for at least one of the
cited links by disabling Allow META Refresh (in Security tab)

Use View Source on your "blank" page and see if you have some code
which looks something like this:

<example>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.symantec.com/purchase/">
</example>

If so, you don't have to change your Security options.
If you prefer you can just stay aware of this fact and realize
that anytime a site uses this method of redirection that you will have
emulate it manually by (e.g.) using View Source on "blank" pages,
then copy and pasting the URL= parameter to your Address bar and
finally requesting that page explicitly by clicking on the Go button (etc.)
