    Per my link above, what add-on's are installed in IE? Sometimes McAfee's Site Advisor gets installed and possibly other various plugins. If so, McAfee might be the culprit.

    from what i see of add ons they all look normal. adobe PDF, Google tool bar, HP Printer, McAfee and Java doing a quick summary. I
    have disabled Enable Memoryi Protection and so far not seen the bleached screen.

    This may help.

    In IE-Tools-Internet Options-Advanced tab, uncheck the box "Enable memory protection to mitigate online attacks" under "Security". Also, under "Browsing", uncheck "Disable Script debugging (IE)" and "Disable script debugging (others)".
    well tried this approach and it does not stop the problem.

    just a follow up fyi. When this happens and i hit ctril atl delete it says the site is not responding. I have tried all the suggestions given and so far the same thing goes on. I am curious if other people have had this prolblem.

    The "white" screen is because the browser isn't reponding. If you didn't click on the screen or try to close the browser, it wouldn't turn white on it's own, correct? It only turns white when you finally decide the page won't load, and try to reload or close it? If it is only on random sites, it may be the sites have extensive content like flash, or scripts, or images loading. I have seen this very rarely, rarely enough to assume it isn't a problem, but rather the random page or browsing session.

    If it happens enough to test, disable all addons and see if the problem goes away. Addons are the most likely cause.

    you are right in that it happens when the site seems stuck in limbo. If I hit reload it goes white. From where I am it is happening quite often (mexico) but the weird thing is my wife reported the same trouble with her lap top(also windows 7) when traveling in the states. No clue. I have disabled the addons as suggested but still happens. i have a feeling its going to be one of those annoying things that I have to live with. Never ran into this prior to windows 7 or the new explorer.

    Something to try, download this tool created by one of out Gurus, Capt. Jack, and reregister the appropriate version of IE:

    SF IE Restorator - Troubleshooting General Issues with IE

    You can also try resetting IE.
