RE: Blank page 'won't go away'

Attn: Dotmay

I had a Computer Tech here who ran a Adblocker software and he found several
references to "CoolWebSearch" and deleted them all. I ended up buying the
licence to use it "AdWare", I think it is called anyway, the problem turned
out to be this "CoolWebSearch" which spies on your computer, etc. and turns
up as "about blank page" - so far everything is working ok for me. If it
turns up again - do a search on your computer (especially hidden files) and
delete all references to "coolwebsearch" and you should be ok. It has only
taken me from March until now to get some answers. I hope this helps you.

RE: Blank page 'won't go away'

The problem seems to be associated with a program which accompanies
Incedimail when its downloaded called Magentic. Go to Start and type 'system
configuration' without the speech marks, into the search field, then
transmit. Wait for a window to open then select the Startup Tab, scroll down
the list and uncheck the Magentic program and click Ok. That should do it.

Re: Blank page 'won't go away'

Hello, I am a Computer Technician and I have seen this problem twice already. The two PCs I have seen are those of two different people. The PCs have the following in common:
Both have Windows Vista in FRENCH. One has the basic version the other Home Premium.
Both have an Espon Printer and has the software installed.
[B][COLOR=red]Both have got Incredimail in French installed on their Computers. FREE version.[/COLOR][/B]
[COLOR=black]I think it has got something to do with Incredimail. I'll investigate this, I would appreciate it if others would look into this as well. Maybe it is Windows Defender blocking this page. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]I got a tip and looked into this.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]Microsoft KB 937409. It didn't help. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]Good luck.[/COLOR]

Re: Blank page 'won't go away'

:confused:Exit Magnetic by Incredimail completely.

Still busy testing... if it will work if you just disable the option which allows IncrediMail to gather information anonymously from your computer.

Open for comments...:eek:

Re: Blank page 'won't go away' [Possible Vista Blank Page Fix]

My parents had this issue as well. Doing some searching, a common theme was
that people who had a program called Incredimail had this issue.

My mother has uninstalled the program, and hasn't had the issue again - but
that was only today. I will ask her again in a week and re-post.

Re: Blank page 'won't go away' [Possible Vista Blank Page Fix]

Thank you for your information. I unistalled the program called Incredimail
and the problem ended. I went to Control Panel, Programs and Features,
looked for Magentic/Incredimail and uninstalled it also.

Sorry for all the money you spent. I was getting ready to do the same
thing. After reading this discussion group and my experience, it seems to be
a permanent problem. I have written to Microsoft with no reply. I have
tried everything mentioned in this group to no avail. The page I get is
completely blank with no indication of its origination. I too use the task
manager to get rid of it. I shows up on the manager as "Blank Internet
Explorer Page". I use Firefox and was beginning to think my arm was being
twisted to use IE. Go figure. I'm at a complete loss. I do have another
ridiculous problem if anyone can help me. I have a document in Works that I
cannot delete. I tried to go all over the computer to get rid of it. I
beginning to go wacko with this Vista.

Re: Blank page 'won't go away'


I know this is a late post, since it's 2008 now, but I've been having
the same problem with the blank page in Vista. After much research, I
finally came across this forum, thank God. I, too, have IncrediMail,
and so I just uninstalled it in hopes that that pesky page won't come up
again. Thanks so very much for the suggestion. I hope it works.

Our computer does exactly the same thing!!! When we go to the task
manager to get rid of it it shows up titled as BLANK PAGE. But it keeps
just popping up over and over just out of the blue, and is very
annoying. How can we make it go away and STAY away???
