home page not remembered

[paul]

I've got a pc with a strange problem. IE 6 is installed,
latest AV installed as well. This is not MY pc. Home page
will NOT stay as www.msn.com. If I set this as my
homepage, it will remember this until I reboot the pc.
After that, it will either start as a blank page, or the
url will be strange numbers. I've tried Adaware and
spybot to check for browser hijackers, but nothing isd
found.

So, is there a setting to look for? A registry key to
inspect that keeps the homepage listed?

Thanks,
Paul
