Opening Internet Explorer Home Page.

Hello,

I am using internet explorer and I am have some minor problems that I need
help to resolve. I deleted several temporary files and now I cannot get my
Internet Explorer to come up. What is happening is I get "about blank" in
the address line and I have to manually type msn.com. What can I do to
eliminate this problem? I am running Windows XP Professional, and I don't
know which temp files I deleted.

I have gone to Internet Options and set msn.com as my default by clicking
apply, but the same thing happens, nothing opens unless I type msn.com in the
address bar.

Sincerely,

--

Re: Opening Internet Explorer Home Page.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the changed home page from "sticking". These
include but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

Here's something else about NAV that you may not be aware of:
