Re: Blank page 'won't go away'


I had this same problem each time i turned on my pc this annoying blank
page came up & i had to right click & close it. It came up every day but
i took Alan's advice on here which was to go to the system configuration
and untick the box for MAGENTA which came with my incredimail. i
restarted my pc and guess what? No more blank page!!! So anyone still
with this prob, do the same & u'll be blank page free :)

I would suspect that everyone who posted in that thread has long-since
solved their problem. Check the dates of the posts to confirm for
yourself.

Just for the heck of it, next time do the check BEFORE you reply.

*Only* four months ago? Four months is a *very* long time for a thread
to stay alive. As a general rule, you should never reply to anything
anywhere near that old, since it will have died long ago.

If you have a problem and want to make a post about it, please ignore
old threads. Just start a new thread and state your problem.

Also my very strong recommendation is that you do *not* post via
vBulletin USENET gateway. That's one of those disreputable web-based
services that leech messages from newsgroups and send the messages you
post to us here in the newsgroup. You've ended up in the Microsoft
newsgroup microsoft.public.windows.vista.general on the news server
msnews.microsoft.com.

Using any web-based access to the newsgroups, even Microsoft's, is the
slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there is. Do yourself a
favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes
with Windows XP, or Windows Mail, which comes with Vista.

Hi, Kelly.

You may have expected privacy when you joined the TechArena forum (with a
User name and password and everything). But, as Ken said, TechArena
forwarded your "private" message to the Microsoft public news server, which
posted it here in the Microsoft public newsgroup (also known as Microsoft
Communities) for all the world to read. But TechArena did not bother to
send along the prior messages in that thread, so we haven't the slightest
clue as to what you meant when you started your post with, "I had this same
problem..."

TechArena and similar forums do a valuable service - but they also violate
the privacy of their members without disclosing that they are forwarding
messages outside their forum. They also don't always inform their members
that the answers posted in the forum actually came from these Microsoft
public newsgroups or other sources.

To "cut out the middleman" and post your question directly to this newsgroup
(It's free and does not require a login), just click here:
[url]news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general[/url]

That one click should bring you right back here, but in the newsreader
format, using your default newsreader (probably Outlook Express or Windows
Mail). After reading a few messages for familiarization, you can customize
OE/WM in several ways to suit yourself.

Try it. I think you'll like it. ;<)

RE: Blank page 'won't go away'

I have the same problem -why can't windows just tell me the answer??
I hope you got your problem solved. I don't understand why I have to find a
discussion group to further delay what should be a simple reply from
microsoft!

Hi Judy.

I love hummingbirds. :)

Regarding your problem, could you please provide more information about
the blank page that pops up? Is it an internet explorer blank page?
What is the program or process in task manager say when you close it
from there? More info would help us help you with this.

Re: Blank page 'won't go away'

is there a process running associated with it which you can terminate from
Task Manager, rather than taskbar?
When terminating select "end process tree", rather than a single process
file listed.
