Re: Can't change home page from msn.com



Hi,
Are you running a program that prevents the changing of the homepage?
Ad-aware free doesn't have this feature- NAV might. Spyware Blaster, Spybot
S&D and other programs can lock the homepage. Look through settings of
security, privacy, anti-spyware programs.

Hope this helps,

I installed XP pro on a new system, transferred all my files, did all up
dates. For some reason, I can't change the home page. It always reverts to
msn.com. In the window where you enter your home page it always says:

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&clcid=0x1009&pver=6.0&ar=home.
If I change it, close IE and look again, it's back to the above.
In the registry (Local Machine ), the start page is set to:

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd={SUB_PRD}&clcid={SUB_CLSID}&pver={SUB_PVER}&ar=home
I've had NAV and Adaware scan the system, but it checks out fine. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
