Every time I try to change it back to the homepage that I want (Tools -
Internet Options, Change address - Apply - OK), it does not keep the
Homepage that I tried to change it to an goes back to the aforementioned.
How do I correct this problem? It also seems that anytime I try to go to a
new webpage, the new page has to be 'maximized' to fit the screen (it starts
out just covering the top of the screen and goes down about 1 inch) How do I
get these pages to open with 'full view?' Both of these problems started at
the same time, along with a bunch of pop ups that I don't want either.
THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER!
