Short summary of the symptom reported by : Internet Explorer on Vista loads to a blank page while the title bar flips rapidly between the raw URL and the site title. That pattern usually points to one of three things: a page script or ad causing a refresh/redirect loop, a misbehaving add‑on or toolbar, or a browser hijacker/malware component. It is rarely an OS-level Vista bug; the problem is commonly tied to the browser profile or installed extensions (contrary to 's general Vista remark).

Quick diagnostic checklist (in order of least invasive to more advanced):

  1. Run Internet Explorer with no add‑ons: iexplore.exe -extoff. If the site loads normally, disable add‑ons one at a time via Manage Add‑ons to find the offender.
  2. Test the same site in a different browser. If it works there, the issue is IE‑specific.
  3. Clear the browser cache/cookies and use the IE "Reset" option in Internet Options -> Advanced to restore defaults.
  4. Create a new Windows user account and test IE there; success under a new profile points to a corrupted user profile.
  5. Check the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts for unexpected redirects.
  6. From an elevated command prompt run sfc /scannow and netsh winsock reset, then reboot.
  7. Scan with updated antivirus plus a dedicated anti‑malware scanner and inspect startup items with msconfig or an autorun inspector.
  8. Review Event Viewer (Application/System) for IE or DLL errors at the times the loop occurs.

If the loop is limited to Friendster, the site’s ads or external scripts could be triggering a reload; testing with scripting disabled or with a script‑blocker in another browser can confirm that. As noted, cleaning temp files helps in some cases, but registry cleaners or invasive fixes should be used cautiously — create a system restore point first.

If none of the above isolates the problem, the most reliable next steps are to isolate the issue to profile vs. system (new user account) and to remove any recently installed toolbars or programs before considering an OS repair or rebuild.

Hi, download CCleaner and install it on your system.
Open CCleaner and place a check on everything on the left pane, excluding Custom Files and Folders and Start Menu shortcuts and click on, "Run Cleaner".
Now, try navigating to Friendster.
