web page display fault

On some but not all web pages ie7 (and its eems firefox too) obscures the
right hand side of the page with a blocked out or white panel that runs from
top to bottomn. its as if the background panale colour has comeforward and is
obscuring text and images.. as its both browswers it may be a displaty
setting but most sites work ok

Hi,
Which version of Windows? (Including SP level- SP1, SP2, etc.)

That seems to be a popular location for ads. Is a third-party security
program blocking ads? Look through settings/options of any programs which
may be blocking ads on web pages.

Since both browsers are affected, the HOSTS file may be doing the blocking.
To check the HOSTS file in Windows XP...
Make sure that Windows is showing hidden files and is
not hiding file extensions for known file types then check for a HOSTS file
at [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] Open the HOSTS file with notepad. If
there are entries you wish to disable, you can put the pound sign (#) in
front an entry to disable it. Then File> Save. Or you can rename the HOSTS
file to HOSTS.OLD to disable it.

Hope this helps,
Don

Turn off ad-blocking in your third-party security program.
