We ran into this issue at a client after the last Windows Update patch Tuesday. The Customer Effective Blog has a solution. However, this will not solve the problem in all environments. The only sure fire way to fix this issue regardless of corporate security policy is to uninstall the Windows Update for Internet Explorer.

Update: Mike has posted a comment with more information regarding this issue. Looks like you can edit the blank.aspx page as a workaround. Look at the comments for details.

Trika just posted that everyone’s favorite Second Shot offer is back! Register for Second Shot and breathe easier. If you have problems getting your Second Shot voucher to work, read Trika’s entry or go here. Go get certified!

For those of your new to Microsoft Certification, Second Shot allows you to take any Microsoft exam again if you fail it the first time. For any exam, I suggest moderate studying, registering for the exam with Second Shot, and using the first shot at the exam as a practice test if you don’t pass.
