    Explorer about:blank
    How can I get rid of about:blank which appears in some of my surfing? For example, when I access my iGoogle, the browser reads 'waiting for about:blank', then the page loads. When I try to print a Google calendar page, I get an empty page with about:blank at the top. Thanks

    Try purging your cache (Tools>Internet Options>Delete temp internet files).

    When you downloaded and installed your Google, did you agree to make Google your homepage?

    If not, try installing it again, and when it asks to make it your 'default' or 'homepage' answer yes. That should take care of it.

    If not, go to Internet options and change the homepage from about blank to Google.

    Good luck.
