I was trying to setup Lightbox on my Flatmates new Acer notebook (I have it on Samsung SmartTV, so do not watch via PC).

The first time I went to their site, all was good, I created a profile for him under my account, setup the PIN to seap profiles etc and it seemed fine.

Last night he told me it was not working, I cheked it out, and going to the Lightbox webpage only brings up a blank white page (the Lightbox 'L' icon come up in the browser window heading, but that is it).

Browser is IE11, Windows 8.1.
I uninstalled Silverlight completely (used a Microsoft 'Fix It' uninstaller to remove everything) and reinstalled, same thing.
Cleared Browser caches and history.
Reset Browser to defaults, Restored advanced settings. Nothing made a difference.

For what it is worth, all other webpages seemed to load fine. Lightbox loaded fine on another PC (wired), and on my iPad on the same wireless network.

I gave up, and set him up with Netflix instead, but it still bugs me.

Anyone seen similar? Lightbox, if you are here, any ideas?

Huh?

That sounds pretty strange. It's definitely not a Silverlight issue (that's just for playback).

Not even sure what to ask for in terms of additional information - it's just a white page (essentially not loading)? Does it work on another browser on the machine? Can you see any code in the developer consoles etc?

Lightbox - we are online TV.

I tried to look for source code, it was empty.

It is weird. I didn't install Chrome or Firefox as that will confuse him (and hasn't Silverlight support stopped on Chrome?)

I cannot think what it could be - Lightbox is the only website affected AFAIK. I will try and get a look tonight.

He wouldn't have fiddled with the DNS or proxy settings?

I am wondering that, and feel a bit silly that I didn't look. He would not have done it himself, but he may have a bug that did. I did get Windows Defender to do a scan and update and all was clear. I also reset all IE settings to defaults (restore advanced settings and reset Internet Explorer). I also checked hi hosts file, because it looks as if it goes to an IP address with nothing there (although I don't get a 'webpage cannot be displayed' message).
