My brother and I run basically the same computers, Windows XP, on the same internet line. He is having a problem with Internet Explorer. Before, when he opened up I.E. it always opened up on his home page, Google.ca. Now it opens up to Microsoft Home Search (res://krrfa.dll/index.htmlC#96676), he has repeatedly tried to reset it to google.ca but it keeps reverting back to the Microsoft page. Any help would be appreciated in solving his problem, it has never happened om my computer. Thanks

Sounds like a web page wrote that URL into your
registry. Use regedt32 or regedit to search for and
delete that entry.
