Default Getting blank pages

I am occasionally getting blank pages when I go to various
websites. There does not seem to be any pattern to the
sites which this happens on (eg the domain, subject of the
site etc.)

Sometimes other pages on the site load fine, but when I
click on a link, the link opens with a blank page.
The last time it happened, I was searching an internet
marketing site. The list of merchants opened fine, as did
a couple of the merchants' sites.

When I tried to browse by category, the list of categories
opened find, but when I clicked on the categories links,
all I got was a blank page. The address bar read a valid
address, and the bottom of the frame (on the windows bar)
read "done", which it always does when I have this
problem. All of the categories links got the same results.

Any idea what is happening? Could settings on my Norton
Security prevent certain pages from loading?
I'm using Windows ME.

All help would be appreciated.

Any Norton "product" installed on a Win ME system can cause ANYTHING
to happen, 99.99% of them BAD . Dump Norton for a product that is
compatible with Win ME.

You could attempt a repair of Internet Explorer in Safe Mode :

IF Norton was the culprit, display problems with IE, then the
repair will be "undone" by it.
