When I open my GMail account, I get a blank screen. Problem is only with IE.
If I use another browser, I can connect with no problems. I suspect some
privacy problem but Can not find what to set. Any ideas about this?

Click to expand...

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:

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.

Well, I have tried some of what you suggested. Not too sure if the rest is
applicable. But another problem (related) has surfaced. I have another
computer, a laptop. It could not be more different from the first computer
but it has the same problem. It is a Dell 2650 inspiron loaded with Windows
XP home and using the supplied Internet Explorer. It has been updated via
Microsoft Update which is similar to the desktop in the original post (ie
Internet Explorer in both has been updated.). That is one similarity. The
other is it will not open the window on my Gmail account. N.b. the window
shows "loading" (top right corner) then done (bar at bottom of window) then
nothing (blank page). I dont know if "page not opening" is correct since the
page shows some activity, just blank when there should be something there.
