Quick Ideas From my Warrped Brain...

1) Try to restore your Internet Settings

Next try...

2) Repair Internet Explorer

Next try...

3) Restore previous version and then upgrade back

Make sure you uninstalled the program that messed with your IE.

what u mean restort internet settings????

Jonny English · 11-September-03, 07:59 PM

You might want to look at the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Restrictions registry key first & see if there's a "NoBrowserOptions" value, & delete it if there is.

Fantazmic2 · 11-September-03, 08:01 PM

Tools, Internet Options, Progreams, RESET WEB SETTINGS.

WDoG · 11-September-03, 08:04 PM

nope, i dont have even the Restrictions folder, so thats not it
i did find something on the net that set it back to msn, BUT i still dont have the option, its still grayed out like the pictures above.

Fantazmic2 · 11-September-03, 08:08 PM

What OS are you running?

WDoG · 11-September-03, 08:09 PM

win2k

Fantazmic2 · 11-September-03, 08:13 PM

Damn...I'm not at work and don't have a machine here to compare. I know there is a reg setting, another thing is to "Start, Run, type GPEDIT.MSC" and look for the security setting that prohibits the changing of your homepage.

Wish I could help you more.

Buzz_4_20 · 11-September-03, 08:14 PM

check the task manager for anything out of the ordinary...
also check your add/remove programs utility, some of those pages install programs to keep your browser set the way they want.

WDoG · 11-September-03, 08:14 PM

alright ill try that

WDoG · 11-September-03, 08:23 PM

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im lookin through it all, and im not seeing anything about a home page or anything, or anything that looked like it was changed......
it was under user configuration/administartive templates/windows components/internet explorer
there is an option called "disable changeing homepage settings" so i enabled it, and it changed it to where its not dim anymore,
man i cant thank you enough, i would have never known to go into this and look for it, i was almost about to give up, but then i found it
U KICK A$$ MAN!!!!
thanks for you help!!!!!

Fantazmic2 · 11-September-03, 08:28 PM

Your welcome...I could have given you the exact area to look, but I'm not at work where I have a Win 2K machine. Glad you found it and glad it worked.

WDoG · 11-September-03, 08:31 PM
