If that doesnt work, you have some spyware on your computer.......I had the same problem....No matter how I set my homepage it would always go back to another "set"page......Just something to look out for.

Sounds like you May have picked up a Hi-jacker......<br /><br />Are you running Ad-Aware,... Spy-bot search & destroy,.... CCleaner ????<br /><br />These are Free programs that can be googled up......<br /><br />If you Can't get it right with dolluper's way,...<br />It Might Be Spyware.......<br /><br />BTW,......dolluper,...... That's internet Options.........<br /><br />Internet Opinions are What is Found here at iboats.................. :D

Ad-Aware is My 1st Chioce.......<br /><br />Spy-bot is 2nd......<br /><br />CCleaner is Great,+ should be run Before the others.........<br />I Guess that makes it My A-1 Choice......Or is that 1-A Choice..??..

Re: Internet problems

You probably just need to make sure you hit APPLY when you set it. You can do it via your contol panel. I doubt it is being hi-jacked or it would not revert to google. (Gee wouldn't the google people be happy with that one)<br /><br />If you are in WIN XP make sure you are logged in as the administrator.<br /><br />Bob
