IE8 Blank Tab

[cdavis82]

Often when clicking a link that opens a new tab, the new tab will either say

Blank Page or Connecting without actually connecting to the site. This will

happen on 4 to 5 new tabs before finally getting one that will work.



This problem happens to me several times a day. Closing IE will fix it

temporarily, but resetting the computer is the only thing that will fix it

longer term. Even resetting only lasts a couple of hours of use.



I'm using a fully updated Win7 machine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

See if a browser add-on is causing the problem

Hi,



AOL toolbar installed?



Uninstall it to stop it hijacking your about:tabs page.



Regards.
