Startpage in Explorer

[Stig Markegård]

Hi! I cant change my startpage in explorer. When i change it, it just goes back to www.hp.com. Even if i change it in regedit. How can i change my startpage???

Are you running anti-virus and/or ad aware programs?

They both have setting that will not allow you to change your home page, unless you go through steps detailed by that particular program.

It does sound like spyware.

Try downloading a freebee like spbot to fix it.

Spyware locks out your homepage on IE.

Also every user should have a second browser on their desktop for problems like this.

try firefox as a backup to IE.
