Start Page Problem

by jjacobs May 29, 2005 9:43AM PDT

I am using Windows XP with SP2. I cannot get my start page under my profile after connecting to the internet. I can get the start page for the other 2 profiles on this computer. Please help.

Is it listed in IE options
by AussiePete May 29, 2005 10:30AM PDT

In other words
1/ are you having trouble viewing the page -
2/ does your browser goto the web page and the page fails to load -
3/ or is your browser just not automatically opening your home page at startup - and if not what page.

To do the latter - goto tools> option>under the General tab you will see home page - your home page should be listed in this box. If not, click on Restore Defaults -
If you home page is still not listed, either type the address in the box or exit options then navigate to the web page then return to the option again but this time click Use Current.
If the above is not applicable, under the Security tab you need to review your security settings - possibly setting defaults.

Start Page
by jjacobs May 30, 2005 10:44AM PDT

The Start Page shows - this page cannot be displayed. When I went to Tools, General Tab, the home page is listed but would not open when typed in. Under the Use Current tab, I got this: INDOWS\system 32\shdoclc.dll/dnserrov.htm The security tab was set to Custom. Does this help to solve my problem? Thanks

Start Page Problem

I've set my security to default under Tools - Internet Options, the correct start page address is shown under the General Tab, nothing works. Why can other users on this computer get to the internet with no problem and I cannot? Please help. Thanks
