There is a website page that comes up blank when I try to open it. I can easily open other pages that have the same format in the same website. When I go to another PC that uses the same explorer, I can open that page with ease. This gives me the impression that the problem is with the PC. Could anyone who has experienced this problem before help me with the solution.

I've seen this problem with Netscape before, but never with Explorer. Here's the first things I'd check.
1) While IE is closed, go to Control Panel -Internet Options and click on Delete Files, and Clear history. This will make sure you're not working from a corrupt cached file.
2) Check the Security and Advanced tabs on both pcs to confirm settings are the same.
3) It's possible you're missing some plugins for the site. Does the site use Flash? Acrobat Reader? If so, simply re-install the plugin available from the product's webpage.

Hope this helps,
Gary

It's possible that you may need a plugin reinstalled that came with IE 5.0. You could just update to IE 5.5, it's a simple and quick enough update plus you would get all of the latest security updates.

I would delete all of my cookies and Internet temp files. I would then update my IE to 6, and after you do this make sure you get all the latest IE securtiy updates. I think that this should take care of your problem. But I also like the idea of checking settings on the other PC

also you might try the REPAIR option in IE, start/settings/control panel/add-remove programs, choose IE5.* and tools, 3 options will appear choose REAPIR, this will require a reboot. ALSO if you go to tool/internet options/view settings and delete ALL the objects you see you may find your issue resolved as well, i find that this really helps w/ some of the macromedia plug ins, as well as other items that may be bogging down the window
