Connie,

What do you mean by "on my side of the computer"?

What web browser are you using (e.g., Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla
FireFox 1.5, etc.)?

Can you make changes to any other other browser settings?

Mark

Are you meaning profiles rather than the other side?

Either way and in the meantime - download then merge line 63: Home Page

If needed run HijackThis: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm#spy

Good luck and keep us posted.

You cannot change the home page or you can but it doesn't "stick" when you
open a new IE window or reboot?

What's right?

Pick one:

A. I cannot select a new IE home page.

B. I can select a new IE home page but when I reboot, the home page has been
reset back to what it had been.
