Is this opening an IE window? Which version? Also, test your assumption
about "blank" by using View Source, Alt-V,c. Often this symptom is just a
consequence of using too tight security settings for IE which would prevent
a page's redirect from occurring. In that case you could simulate the redirect
by analysing the page or its scripts but in this case you will eventually need
to be allowing use of ActiveX anyway, so you might as well either reset
Security Settings to Default Level or make the appropriate changes
to access this site using the Trusted security zone.

Unfortunately I'm not on Vista right now, so I can't be more specific
about what you should be seeing. Certainly the details I mentioned
would help refine your symptom description regardless.
