What causes occasional blank pages in IE6?

When I go to a web page it displays fine. Lately, however, if I click on a
link on that page I often get a blank page, even though the bottom bar says
"Done". Refresh doesn't help either. This is happening intermittently.
I have my TIF set at 50mb and IE6 set to not save History.
I've checked for spyware and viruses.
Any ideas?
 
Hi Peter :-)

There are various things that can cause these events. Have a look at the
information below and see if it might help. Some may not directly apply,
but, might shed some light:

Blank - Empty - White Pages

IE6 opens blank/empty/seethrough windows or have to refresh to see contents

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
there:

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:

5. If you are using WinXP try this:

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.

Jan,
I tried the "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" approach first, it "Succeeded" in a split
second...eureka! It appears to have done the trick.
Thanks.
