Problem Description: Hi,

This is a problem that started after I did a autoload from MIcrosoft that stated an update was available. Then Internet Explorer went blank and transparent only showinn the header. I attempted a reload of IE but no help

I did what you recommended and removed thecheck on 3rd party brousers. Then did a restart. Still transparent on the Internet explorer. Only shows the page header. I have Toshiba tecra 8100 and the PID is 55277-OEM-0.

There are many blurbs on the Microsoft site that it is happening

Help,

Mike

Problem Description: Jarnel,

Thanks for the response.I did as you directed. Unchecked the 3rd party brouser and initiated a shutdown and restart. This did not help. The PC is a Toshiba Tecra 3100. The PID is 55277-OEM. I have been reading others with the same problem on the microsoft chat page.

I look forward for further directions from you.

Thanks again,

Mike

The gentleman from Microsoft told you that you had spyware. Get a removal tool like Spybot Search and Destroy(although it's been weeks since it's last update so I rather suspect the next step will be paying for it) AdAware, and also get SpywareBlaster,SpywareGuard and Hijack This. All are free and once you learn how to use them they will clean out any and all spyware\adware you have. {:~)
