Web content on desktop does not refresh

I have the cable isp's webpage displayed on my desktop, but the area taken up by the page keeps disappearing, and is replaced by a large white rectangle. When I hit F5, it is restored. Somehow, it is not automatically refreshing itself or something.

Any advice on how to correct this will be greatly appreciated.

Are using XP? If so, go to display properties / desktop / customize desktop / Web / Properties / schedule / edit / schedule............... & tinker with the settings there. Should sort you out - suggest synchronize when idle?

Thanks - I'm using XP Pro; when I go to  Display properties / desktop / customize desktop / Web / Properties , there is no edit or schedule tab. The only tab is "Web Document" and when I click that, all I see is the URL for the page.

Do you have any idea why there is no "edit" or "schedule" tab?

Hm....I've got XP Home & that last page for me has 2 additional tabs for "Schedule" & "Download" - let me have a think about it & I'll re-post if I come up with a solution.

A Thought:

You haven't by any chance disabled Task Scheduler? Check Component Services / Services (Local) and make sure Task Scheduler is enabled - I guess this is the same in XP Pro?
