Upgraded to IE7 from IE6, and it worked fine for a couple of days. Now, however, my homepage doesn't come up- just a blank page. If I click on my home button It comes up very slowly. What's up with that??

There's a couple of things to check - what it sounds like to me is that you have saved credentials for the site - so Option 1 below may be your solution

1) Ensure you don't have the username and password for the site saved. Control Panel --> User Accounts --> Manage network passwords. If you have the site listed there, then you can either edit the entry or remove it. I recommend completely removing it so that you can ensure that you can log on without relying on cached credentials

2) Ensure that the popup blocker itself is not blocking the Logon window - if the authentication window is a webpage rather than the normal credential prompt then you could run into issues.
