Can't Change Internet Explorer HomePage

    I am using windows XP Home and reinstalled windows on the C: after i formatted it. The problem is now it keeps defaulting the homepage and i can not for the life of me save it.

    I have deleted all the files that are linked to the home page. I have checked add/remove programs and can not find anything in there that might be causing it. I have uninstalled IE and Reinstalled it, but still have the same problem. I downloaded Firefox and can change the homepage on that no problems. I have ran MSCONFIG and cannot see the item in the startup items or services. I have also ran anti-virus scann using AVG and ran Ad-Aware just to be sure.

    I have searched on the internet and tried a few things but nothing has worked so far.

    Help:confused:

    Out of curiosity, what does the homepage default to?

    If its spyware, it could be hijacking the homepage. You can change it if you have Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Open the Configuartion Window->Defaults->Read current settings from system and then change default homepage to the one you wish.

    Download, close all IE windows and run it.

    BreadBord, thanks for the reply and yes i have tried that :p

    Thanks for the replys. I got the problem fixed thanks to a friend. It was a case of updating zonealarm. Once you reinstall windows and then install zonealarm it locks down your current homepage its set to.
