| Blank page 'won't go away' Every time I do anything this 'blank page' pops up and won't go away until I start Task Manager and close it. It keeps coming back and all I want to do is prevent it from loading every time I do anything or start windows. Anyone else have a problem like this?????? |

| Re: Blank page 'won't go away' Hi Adam It just seems to be a blank web page which takes up the full screen. I never had anything like this in Windows XP, but it is annoying. It sometimes shows up when I change web sites or after I download new updates from Windows Update. The other day I started to play hearts and it started. There is no rhyme or reason that's why it is annoying. lindabeilia "Adam Albright" wrote: [color=blue] > On Fri, 23 Mar 2007 16:45:00 -0700, lindabeilia > <lindabeilia@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >[color=green] > >Every time I do anything this 'blank page' pops up and won't go away until I > >start Task Manager and close it.

| Re: Blank page 'won't go away' I can close it because it shows up in the Task Manager as 'blank page'. It doesn't make sense.

| Re: Blank page 'won't go away' Hi lindabeilia, The next time you see the 'blank page', before you close it in Task Manager, right-click on it in Task Manger, and choose "Go to Process" (at the bottom of the context menu). The Process tab will open. Take note of the file's name that gets highlighted. Then you can close it on the Applications tab.

| Re: Blank page 'won't go away' Sounds to me like an adware process, popping up and attempting to show an ad that is unavailable to it, perhaps thanks to Vista's firewall. I'd scan for adware/spyware, perhaps starting with Windows Defender, since it's already available with Vista. Daze ------------------ |

If recent, is there anything you've added, installed, downloaded recently? If you can't pinpoint anything but the problem is recent, you might try using System Restore to take you back to a time prior to when this began. Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore. While System Restore is meant to only restore the registry and system settings to a specific point in time, as a precaution you should make sure your data is well backed up. -- Michael Solomon Backup is a PC user's best friend DTS-L.Org: [url]http://www.dts-l.org/[/url] |

| Re: Blank page 'won't go away' Hi I started this thread last March and am still having problems with the 'blank page'. I have had a computer technician to my house and my machine cleaned with Anti-Virus software, registry cleaners and then I will download something from Windows Update and GUESS what - the HATED blank screen is back after spending hundreds of dollars to get rid of it. I think it is an issue with Windows Vista - and no one seems know how to get rid of it. I have contacted Microsoft and was treated as if it was "ALL IN MY MIND". If anyone finds a solution I sure would like to have it or know what it is. I hate using my computer now and I hate WINDOWS VISTA.
