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??????

What KIND of a blank page?

When exactly do it appear FIRST, how to you close it in Task Manager
if it doesn't have a name?

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.

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.

What sort of blank page, what file type, is it a doc file, is it from your
browser, does it say blank.htm, blank.doc, etc. It sounds as though you may
have picked up some malware. Have you run a virus scan have you scanned for
malware?

Have you always had this problem or is it a relatively recent issue? 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.

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.
