Fresh XP Install, gmail does not work, no error

[Heinrich]

I get a COMPLETELY white screen .. never seen this before - laptops working fine...I've disabled the firewall and antivirus completely...could they have installed something mischevious? I notice some ad blocking type content in Kerio that caused me trouble in the past with Norton, so i completely disabled all of it and exited the program..

Gmail uses lot of javascript and stuff, this probably won't help but just in case you overlooked, check to ensure it's enabled.

Which browser are you using? Have you cleared the browser cache?

 

[Heinrich]

Both IE and Firefox...other sites work fine. Gmail works fine elsewhere....this is giving me diarrhea.

I will check javascript..I did just download Sun.java from the sun website with no luck

 

[Heinrich]

javascript enabled. I see a note that it's redirecting to 127.0.0.1 to me that does not sound right. That still sounds firewall. I'm going to totally UNINSTALL Kerio and reboot.

 

[Heinrich]

doh, 127.0.0.1 is the local fake ip address. I'm suspecting kerio more and more.

 

[Heinrich]

No Kerio - see "connecting to 127.0.0.1" which is not much help when trying to read eMail.

Now I'm wondering abut cookies. I'm blocking:

www.pcctracking.net
www.ad.tomshardware.com
red.as-us.falkag.net
itxt3.intellitxt.com (who are these people)
altfarm.mediaplex.com
ad.doubleclick.net (kiss my ass, doubleclick)
a.as-us.falkag.net
70.84.70.244 (??)
102.112.2o7.net

I block all of these 2o7.net cookies, who are they?

 

[Heinrich]

IE is giving me an 'error on page'

expected ']' line 3 bla bla...I think I'll visit windowsupdate

 

[Heinrich]

bah! I installed ms framework 1.1 did not help. very odd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IamDavid]

i'ts kero
i have the same prob

just go to site exceptiuons and add gmail to safe list... it will work


it will still be screwey if you uninstall kerio so leave it. kerio is the best

If you have a fresh WinXP installation and are disabling your firewall, then I sure hope you have a router between the computer and the modem, or else have WinXP SP2. Don't want to be runnin' around without firewall protection.

Since gmail's sign-in page is an HTTPS page, make sure your system time is correct (time and date).

Have you tried adding *.google.com to your trusted sites?

I got a message when I tried accessing gmail the other day saying that I had to enable ActiveX, when it already was. Found something on Google Groups to go to run and type "regsvr32 msxml3.dll" and it did the trick.

Otherwise, maybe install Java 1.4.2.xx runtime?
