You could try this:
Select Tools from the menu and then Internet Options and the General tab.

The first bit is for your home page so select Use Blank hit Apply and then OK.

This should give you a blank page next time that you run IE.

If you want IE to open up with a page of your choice in view then load the page first and then do the above except select Use Current instead of Use Blank.

Hope that helps

Jim.

A different browser would do wonders
try firefox
