Blank page surfing using x64 spike 5/11/2007 9:35:00 PM http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/ The above link is to symantec's website. I'm using WinXP pro x64 with IE 7. I get a blank page even after refreshing several times. I copy and past the link in Firefox and it works fine. If i use a tablet pc with IE 7 to surfs. There does seem to be a redirect of some kind. Is this a security 'feature'? It's starting to drive me crazy. Anyone got a clue? Does the link work for you while running IE 7 on x64 WinXP pro?

Re: Blank page surfing using x64 "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 5/11/2007 10:57:19 PM First question is - which version of IE7? 32-bit, or 64-bit? If it's the 64-bit version of IE7, I'd suggest running the 32-bit. Some pages just don't work on a 64-bit browser. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "spike" <spike[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9E50F37F-3439-4D21-BA54-8C9385253791[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Blank page surfing using x64 spike 5/13/2007 12:14:00 AM First answer then. The blank page is returned for both the 32 and the 64 bit versions. When YOU (Charlie:-) surf to the page using your WinXP x64 IE 7 do you get a blank page!?! Does anyone else get a blank page or am I the only one? I'd really like to know!

Re: Blank page surfing using x64 "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 5/13/2007 6:27:17 AM I don't surf to pages that some one posts. Honestly and dead seriously.

Re: Blank page surfing using x64 spike 5/14/2007 11:58:00 PM You should be able to cut and paste the text of the link into your browser. And, if you are paranoid, your can whois the ip after doing a ping (and do a tracert for good measure). You could even report it to with IE for "phishing" verification <chuckle> Here is another web address that does not render because of some redirect problem with IE 7 (32 & 64) on WinXP x64. http://www.vanguard.com/ (yes the VanGuard Fund website) You are losing an opportunity to either help discover an exploited vulnerability in this product or a bug report that would help out a bunch of users. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! I think I'll come here and post website after website that renders a blank by IE 7 on WinXP x64 if for nothing else other than fun.

Re: Blank page surfing using x64 Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 5/15/2007 1:47:03 PM You really sound like a spoiled brat that isn't getting his/her way. Why don't you act like a rational adult and recognize that you apparently have a unique situation with your system. I have been using Win x64 for over 3 years now and I am not having the symptoms your cite. There is something wrong on your computer that you will have to try and figure out. What is your complete and accurate hardware configuration; motherboard, video card, other cards, hard drives, USB devices, optical drives, etc? What software have you installed recently? spike wrote: [Quoted Text] > You should be able to cut and paste the text of the link into your browser. > > And, if you are paranoid, your can whois the ip after doing a ping (and do a > tracert for good measure).

Re: Blank page surfing using x64 Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 5/15/2007 3:02:15 PM P.S. I currently have 4 browsers in x64 and all 4 display the link below.

RE: Blank page surfing using x64 spike 5/15/2007 5:57:00 PM For anyone who is interested. It was as stated by someone else. If you surf in an administrators context using IE7 and you go to a webpage with a redirect IE 7 will render a blank web page. If you change your security context to power user or user and surf to that same web page with a redirect it will render appropriately. This behavior is evident in x64 but not in the 32 bit version of WinXP pro.
