I also have Norton, as well as Spybot, and when I go to change my home page, a dialog box comes up, so there's no question as to what's going on and it's easy to allow it. If you're not getting a dialog box, I can't imagine that would be it, unless you have your alert settings set up differently.

I imagine this is the problem. I am running Norton. I haven't figured out how to get Norton to let me change the home page so I cannot confirm that this is the problem.

I have Norton and it stopped me from changing my home page until I told it to do so. If you don't have anything like that then at this moment I am totally baffled. Good luck on finding out what your problem is. Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Ralph Supernaw <mailto:rsupernaw@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi, I have just moved everything to a new notebook computer. I can't get IE to let me change the home page from an MSN page to the one I want. I go into internet options and change the page and press the "apply" button. The new home page is there just fine. Then I press the "ok" button. When I go back into the options, the old web page is listed as my home page. I have tried this from the Tools menu in IE and from the Internet Options n the Control Panel. Neither works. Any ideas?
