Blank sites, done???

Both IE 8 and firefox won't load certain sites, they just come up blank saying done it's not many but enough to be annoying and refreshing doesn't help. It's not my network as my other pc loads them fine. I've tried all the usual things, reseting all, including winsock, DNS flush. uninstalling and reinstalling IE. all to no avail, any ideas anyone?

Excuse me, but what does the latest Java have to do with pages not loading? There are very few Java apps on the web anymore and one can live just fine without it being on the system.

Perhaps you didn't know, even though you have the MVP credentials' that Java is NOT Javascript ?

Do you have the latest Java?


Updating Java:

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.
• Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u23 allows end-users to run Java applications".
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
• Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
• The page will refresh.
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
• Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u23-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.

Thanks for your help, I've done the above but it has not helped, and now Java has disappeared from my list of internet browser add ons! I can't get it back. Interestingly I did have multiple versions listed both in Programs and features and in add ons before I uninstalled.

I got Java back as an add on, but still no joy.

Can you run IE 32bit without addons and try the website again? Is it just 1 website that's not displaying properly?

Hi, thanks again, how do I try switching DNS?
It is more than one website, but not all, maybe one in fifty? It's very strange and frustrating. They dont work with or without add ons, in either 32 or 64bit IE. It started about a month ago, when I got my Home network going.

When you hit a blank page, do you have any error icons in the lower left hand corner of your browser?
Can you use Firefox to see the exact same webpage?
