Vista - 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?

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.

I can close it because it shows up in the Task Manager as 'blank page'. It
doesn't make sense.

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.

just occured when u vist the web site ?

maybe a virus, u can check u IE -"manage add-on" if any interrogatory Active
X and then disabble or delete it

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.

Someone must know how to get rid of the pesky blank page! Help!!!

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?
