    web pages wont display

    Hello, ive just set up my new net connection and although ive got access local and internet on my vista home premium 64 bit system when i try to connect to a web page i get a blank white page which says done at the bottom. I then connected an XP based laptop with no problems so i presume theres a problem with vista,any help greatly appreciated.

    I have experianced the exact same problem, FF and IE stops displaying webpages but everything else works (mail, torrent, RSS etc etc). Both times was after an update and the only way I got FF and IE to work was to use the system restore feature. Vista64 said that the (this might be the wrong name for it I use Vista in swedish) Data Execution Protection something had blocked FF and IE due to something....I tried finding info on this but appart from a thread in a swedish forum I could not find any other information about this problem. As now I dont dare upgrading or patching Vista att all due to the fact that the last two updates has led to IE and FF refusing to display webpages.
