My daughter bought a new laptop, and she is letting me use her old one. I
would like ot set up my google page as my home page, but for some reason
after I go to the control panel and to internet options. I enter the google
page, wich is what i want as my home page. I cannot click the " use current
page. I can click on the Use default, wich takes me back to daughters
homepage. I even tried clicking hte apply button, but was still not able ot
set up a new homepage. Is there a way I can set my home page as a default???

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
