IE Home Page

[Debi]

Whenever I open IE, the address that comes up in the
address bar is about:blank. I've changed it in Internet
Options many,many time back to MSN.com and then clicked on
Apply and OK, but as soon as I get out and open IE up
again, it goes back to about:blank ?
hoping the someone has an idea of how to fix this.
Thanks,
Debi

Also, it is only by chance I stumbled upon your post. In the future I
suggest that you Start your own NEW post, and of course stick with the
thread which develops until the problem is solved. This thread is a month
old here, many people don't bother looking back that far. Now that you're
here, you might stick with it.
