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 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.

I had a Computer Tech here who ran a Adblocker software and he found several
references to "CoolWebSearch" and deleted them all. I ended up buying the
licence to use it "AdWare", I think it is called anyway, the problem turned
out to be this "CoolWebSearch" which spies on your computer, etc. and turns
up as "about blank page" - so far everything is working ok for me. If it
turns up again - do a search on your computer (especially hidden files) and
delete all references to "coolwebsearch" and you should be ok. It has only
taken me from March until now to get some answers. I hope this helps you.

Re: Blank page 'won't go away'
The only time I've had a blank (sort of yellow) page covering both my
monitors is at boot, and only after I've just installed an "offending"
driver. That Blank page stays on for about 30 seconds, then goes away
and all is back to normal. Next step, I remove the offending driver and
roll back... reboot, and no more blank page. I know this is not the
problem you described, but it might nonetheless help others who've seen
that "other" blank page.

RE: Blank page 'won't go away'
hi Lindabeilia, Did you ever get any help? I'm having the same problem. It
comes out of no where! I don't know about task manager! I've been having to
turn my copmuter off at the tower and back on. I'm soooo annoyed! Please if
you've learned anytthing let me know. teakosmom@yahoo.com. Have a blessed day.
Re: Blank page 'won't go away'
Sorry for all the money you spent. I was getting ready to do the same
thing. After reading this discussion group and my experience, it seems to be
a permanent problem. I have written to Microsoft with no reply. I have
tried everything mentioned in this group to no avail. The page I get is
completely blank with no indication of its origination. I too use the task
manager to get rid of it. I shows up on the manager as "Blank Internet
Explorer Page". I use Firefox and was beginning to think my arm was being
twisted to use IE. Go figure. I'm at a complete loss. I do have another
ridiculous problem if anyone can help me. I have a document in Works that I
cannot delete. I tried to go all over the computer to get rid of it. I
beginning to go wacko with this Vista.
