Howdy, I gotta problem. When I left click on some thumbnail graphics, I get a pop-up window that has the following in the blue banner at the top of the window: "about:blank - Microsoft Internet Explorer, and where the full size graphic, or photo should appear, the window is blank. At first I thought the problem may have been my Stopzilla utility; however, when I disable Stopzilla, and I have even uninstalled Stopzilla, the problem continues.

Anyone out there got any ideas on what my problem might be? Sure do need some help with this "bugger".

Thanks in advance, orchided :angry:
 
it happened to myself and I had to do a complete format and reinstall, it is something in going on behind the scenes. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling Explorer that might do the trick.
