What is "blank page"?

[Bobh]

Hi -
When I am posing a question or replying to an answer in Computer Hope I like to use "spell check" because I am a poor speller.  When I click on "spell check" at the bottom, I get a panel that is headed "Blank page - Windows Internet Explorer" . 
I can not use "spell check".   What am I doing wrong?  Thanks   Bob

is the pop up blocker enabled for computer hope? if so then try turning it off and see if the issue continues.

I am not too smart.  I don't understand exactly what you want me to do.  I have pop up blocked for all pop ups as far as I know.  I still get the blank page.  Thanks for your reply.   Bob

When I did my previous post I clicked on "preview" and then "spell check" and spell check worked.  I wonder what "preview" has to do with "spell check".
Any suggestions?   Bob

not sure that removes my theory. if it was an issue with the pop up blocker then it would not work if you click preview first.

it is still giving you the blank page if you do not click preview first?

During my previous post the spell check worked afterb I clicked on preview.  Now "spell check "  will not work no matter what I do.  When I click on "spell check"  I get the "Blank page".  I have no idea why it worked once and not again.  Seems like it is random.  Any suggestions?    Thanks  Bob

Download Temp File Cleaner (TFC)
Double click on TFC.exe to run the program.
Click on Start button to begin cleaning process.
TFC will close all running programs, and it may ask you to restart computer.

Your suggestion apparently worked.  My "spell check" now works.  Thanks so much for your help.  I have ran CCleaner but the Temp File Cleaner is better.  Would you suggest that I no longer use CCleaner and only use Temp File Cleaner?  Thanks   Bob

[Broni]

I'm glad, you got fixed

I prefer TFC over CCleaner. It's more thorough and it doesn't have tempting registry cleaner part.

Thanks for your reply.  You and others on Computer Hope have helped me a lot.    Bob
PS   When I tried to use "spell check" on this post I found I'm back to "Blank page - Windows Internet Explorer".  I give up.  It is not a big issue.  It only gives me trouble on this web site.  When I send an e-mail the spell check works fine.   Bob

Re-run TFC one more time and then....

Start IE in Safe Mode.
Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Same thing?

I followed your instructions and when I clicked on IE (no add-ons) I got the following message:  IE is currently running without add-ons.  I think I remember turning off add-ons because I did not know what add-ons were for.  Anyway the spell check seems to be working correctly...
Thanks    Bob
PS  I checked when I nstarted this post and spell check was working.   After I wrote this and clicked on spell check the Blank Page came up. Wierd!!!!

Bob, were you still in IE no-ads mode, when spellcheck stopped working?
