Homepage Setting

[Rich]

I am having an issue with both my Compaq Presario 2500
laptop and Presario S5300NX which are new. This is my
first pass with Windows XP and the set homepage feature
seems to be over-ridden every time I start up.

My selection is replaced
with "res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049" each time.

I am looking for advise...

Thank you, Rich
