that blank page usually means a php error. you will need to access the server error logs to find out what is causing it.

dont know what control panel software that is and it doesn't look like you have shown us all of it.
if you can't find error logs ask your host. if they tell you they don't keep error logs ask for level two support so you can find someone that knows what they are doing.

some hosts just set it to put a file in your root or in your board root and you can find it via ftp.
in my case it is a file named error_log with no file extension.
you would have to open it in a text editor to see the actual errors.

no need. lets find out what the error log says.

using your ftp, download that file named error_log to your computer.
open it in a text editor and copy the 10 newest lines here in code box.
the lines have the date as the very first part.

It would be nice to know what the cause of the problem was.
That knowledge could help other users should they encounter a similar problem. (kind of goes-without-saying on a Support forum).
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
