Hello,

Lately I started to have problems with IE 6. It doesn't display some pages,
just blanks. And this happens not on one PC only, but on several ones.

I don't know what is the reason for this. It started with the pages with
SSL. At first, clearing SSL state helped. Now it doesn't help anymore. And
pages that appear blank are not necesserily with SSL, could be any.

So I had to switch to Natscape for now that doesn't have this problem. But
I'd like to get back to IE if I could fix this.

If you have any suggestions what could it be, I would appreciate them very
much.

Thank you,

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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 that doesn't fix it, see this article:

http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/26.html

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

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870863

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.

Frank,

I've found another reason for the blank pages.

The same article mentioned it - it says that if the Autoselect is checked
under View - Encoding, it may cause the problem. It is recommended to
uncheck it.

What's interesting is that for me it works directly opposite way. As soon as
I uncheck Autoselect - I start getting blank pages. As soon as I check it
back - everything gets back to normal.

But in this case I'm getting blanks only when I go to the Russian pages
(some of them). I guess it might be related to the fact that Russian has
several encodings (1251, koi8 etc.), so in this case Autoselect works
better. Just a guess.
