Hi all,

I've a desktop computer with Windows XP Professional Service Pack and
experienced the following problems with Internet explorer:
- when I go to Windows Update V5 site in order to update my OS I get a blank
page;
-I get a blank page when I connect to certain web sites too (for example I
get a blank page when in my enterprise LAN I connect to an intranet web site
in order to update my enterprise sofwtare )
- I cannot use the text search function in my IE menu because the button
"find next" is always disabled;
-I cannot use certain web search engines (such as Yahoo search engine)
because after I submit the word to search in the web I get the message "Bad
Request :Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand"
How can I solve this problems?
Thank you very much in advance

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://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window

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


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.

Hi ciccio :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

IE opens blank/empty/white pages, or pages must be refreshed to see content:

also…..


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 that doesn't work, then check out the following article and do the
additional steps outlined

Hi all,

I tried to solve my problems through your help with no results :-(
I read an article on the web and probably I found the reason why my IE
doesn't work correctly, here you are the link:

http://www.securiteam.com/windowsntfocus/5XP051FDFM.html

I tested IE using the link specified in the article and I obtained a blank
page, so I think that my browser is corrupted. The article doesn't specify
any troubleshooting, could you suggest me a solution?
Thanks a lot in advance

I too, took the test, and I too, got a blank page on the test. :-) I don't
think my IE is corrupted as I have no problem with it. <g> However, have
you also tried the information Frank suggested? If not, please do so first.

In addition to the Frank's suggestions, try the information below and see if
it helps:
