When I open an explorer it cannot find my homepage. I
don't think it has to do with my LAN settings because I
checked those and also used to be fine a couple of weeks
ago when i had the same settings. I didn't have any
problem with my browser. I get the "page not found" page
unless i hit on the refresh or home buttons and then i
can see my homepage. I hope it is not a virus or anything.

I also cannot log in to my hotmail inbox by clicking the
link on the MSN messenger. I get the same : "page not
found". so i think the explorer problem has to do with
that as well. If anybody knows why please give me some
help. Thanx!

You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK
