What could be the cause of IE being unable to display web pages
initially, yet as soon as I hit refresh, the page(s) are able to
display ?

Hope someone can help,

Cheers,
Metrics

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:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

6. See Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 may display a blank Web page
after you select Auto-Select encoding

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.
 
Many thanks, your first suggestion seems to have worked.. at least on
some initial tests of screens that definitely failed first time around.


Could you briefly explain what the problem was and/or what running
"regsvr32 urlmon.dll" has done ?

Many thanks once again,
Metrics_Pete.

Thanks for the feedback.

urlmon.dll is used in downloading URLs (I think that's where it's used).
Anyway, somehow it is getting unregistered in the Registry and regsvr32
urlmon.dll reregisters it. Personally, I think malware is doing it, but we
don't really know. It's never happened to me and it's not as common as it
used to be.
