What could this be.....

[schtek]

I have a laptop that has beeen scanned with anti virus (nothing) spyware (a few) and should be clear..

when the client opens up the internet surfs to a page no problem at all,but once the internet page requires a new page to be open it opens up blank.. for the life of me i cant sort it out any ideas please!!

Stand up wherever you are, go to the nearest window and yell as loud as you can, 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.'

If you have not viri or spyware, this should take care of it:

@Smah and Schtek - the command netsh winsock reset catalog in the RUN BOX or CLI will do that aswell...

as mostlikely the LSPs got messed up, as Smah suggested withe the IE FIX, also I would check the HOST file with either SpyBot or HOSTER (
