Connie,

 

What do you mean by "on my side of the computer"?

 

What web browser are you using (e.g., Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla

FireFox 1.5, etc.)?

 

Can you make changes to any other other browser settings?

Are you meaning profiles rather than the other side?

 

Either way and in the meantime - download then merge line 63: Home Page

If needed run HijackThis: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm#spy

 

Good luck and keep us posted.

You cannot change the home page or you can but it doesn't "stick" when you

open a new IE window or reboot?

Re: default home page cannot be changed

 

What's right?

 

Pick one:

 

A. I cannot select a new IE home page.

 

B. I can select a new IE home page but when I reboot, the home page has been

reset back to what it had been.
