IE stuck on first time page

[Guest Sam Steinhauser]

I just did a clean install due to some new hardware and my IE is stuck on

that first page that lets you set preferences.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277

It went there once, I tried to make choices and go on but it hung. It just

keeps going to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277 and erroring out

with "Page cannot be displayed." I have set my homepage to MSN.com and if I

click home it goes there biut it opens everytime to

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277 and erroring out with "Page

cannot be displayed."

 

Thanks for any help and suggestions,

Sam

Install Firefox 3.0 as I have and you'll never look back...

Sam,

Try Alt-key, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, click on the reset IE

configuration button.

Close IE and start it again.

I also had that problem with a fresh install and I think that I solved it

that way.

The other item I played with was the home icon and its options, nothing else.

Something in between solved it.
