When I try to view some web pages I can not see them. It says in the bottom
the page is done but I get a blank page. How can I fix this problem?
 
Hi FlacFlac1000 :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens After You
Click a Link
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q281679

If nothing happens when you click a link:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Blank - Empty - White Pages

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?

Hope this helps :-)

Hi FlacFlac1000 :-)

Somehow the commands in my original reply seem to have picked up an
additional rider at the ends. The ?'s at the ends in the list of commands
should not be there.

I'll try again, see if this works better:

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 the ?'s should appear at the ends here again for some reason, just ignore
them and use only the text with out the ?'s. Sorry for any confusion.

Hope this helps :-)

I have just done what you have suggested and it still doesn't work. We
became aware of this problem recently when we suddenly couldn't see any pages
of Sky News or Sky Movies websites. At the bottom the page would say
whatever is downloading, then done but a blank page appears. It used to work
fine but now doesn't. Is there something else we can try please?

Thanks :)

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.)

I can't see anything like that at all in view source. I still cannot
understand why it used to work and lately nothing is visible. Someone
mentioned java to me but we have java.

Javascript more likely. Javascript is another common method of
implementing redirects. If Active Scripting was disabled and
a Javascript implemented redirect was done in an otherwise empty page
you would see the same symptom.

Did you try changing your Security setting for that zone?
That would eliminate both possibilities at once.

There are other possible causes besides the two I have mentioned.
Can you cite a specific public link you are having trouble with?

Yes, this Sky site is one of a few we regularly use and it is no longer
visible:

That one is huge--88 Kb. Does View Source show you anything?
You didn't clarify but implied it is more than blank.
Perhaps it is just being truncated?
FWIW I see 1695 lines in there with Notepad
(Word Wrap off; Status Bar on)

http://www.skysports.com/skysports/home

50 KB plus lots of other bits to make it work. The page we see with
View Source is just a skeleton.


BTW if you are trying to block ads e.g. via the HOSTS file then I can
imagine that that might account for you symptom as well.

For some reason, sky.com loads up fine.

Certainly didn't for me. What is your nslookup giving you for that site?
Does ping -n 1 show a different lookup for it? Then you must have
an entry for it in your HOSTS file; so perhaps you have now invalid entries
for the others in there as well.

<examples>
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: sky.com
Address: 193.117.250.165

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.sky.com
Address: 195.173.72.67

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.skysports.com
Address: 195.173.72.67

</examples>

Now several hours later sky.com is apparently being redirected to
www.sky.com.


If that works it may mean that the dnscache is getting loaded with
sufficient information to enable a better lookup.

Compare the dnscache for the various cases for clues about this.
E.g. in a cmd window enter:

ipconfig /displaydns >displaydns.txt
notepad displaydns.txt

If there is too much extraneous stuff in there to prevent a useful comparison
you could try clearing the cache *before* making a connection attempt.

ipconfig /flushdns
