Could I please have a little help on some Windows XP / IE8 issue?

by jadavis9 . Updated 14 years ago

I have 2 Windows XP computers. For a long time both have been working fine. Suddenly my tablet PC is acting weird on Facebook and a few other sites like MS Answers and this must all be related to some setting that I changed. It’s probably not malware so lets please not go there for now. OK?
For instance, I log in to my Facebook News Feed page on my DELL pc and it works fine. But on my tablet, it just loads the blue line at the top with the logo with icons, Search box, my name, Find Friends & Home v.
But the whole page is just BLANK white except for 2 vertical scribe lines! It does nothing when I click on any of those 3 icons such as Messages or Notifications. And I mean it does NOTHING at all.
If I click on my name, it now displays a horizontal line near the top of the screen with text under it saying “Facebook ?? 2012 ?? English (US)About ?? Advertising ?? Create a Page ?? Developers ?? Careers ?? Privacy ?? Terms ?? Help.”
Still the display below is blank and it doesn’t say Done or anything anywhere.
If I click Home, it displays a plain white screen with 2 vertical lines on it.
What the heck have I done? I’ve even tried just leaving my PC sitting with this going on and I had hoped that it was just some insufficient RAM thing or Virtual Memory issue. But …. no luck. Still nothing hours later.
Nothing is wrong with my Facebook since it works fine on my other Win XP machine luckily!
So could someone please jump in and try to help me make this tablet happy?
