White screen on laptop

Post by Jsun76 »

Can someone please give some insight on what the hell is going on with my laptop. Certain sites I go to will start to load then just go to a white screen. It has been mostly happening on Verizons site, Yahoo mail, and a few others. Sometimes it will happen if I am using tabbed browsing also. I switch from one tab to the other and when I come back its the white screen. It will still show the address in the address bar and at the bottom it says done. Any ideas? Thanks.

Try viewing the sites in compatibility mode.

The newer browsers might not be able to render the pages properly.

In IE -> Tools -> Compatability View
