    Hello

    It's about my IE. Currently, it periodically set its own homepage to www.msn.com even though I have set it to blank over and over. Any idea why this happens?
    Thanks

    do you set it to blank in tools >> internet options? or do you do the right click thing and go to properties?

    I set it via Tools->Options, then use Blank. Frankly, I don't understand about the right click thing... where can I click?

    Firefox has a tendency to freeze up on me. It's still better than IE... but some companies pages lock the damn thing up

    Well, it happens quite often too (sluggish/freeze-prone Firefox), so I often alternate between IE and Firefox on browsing.
    Oh, about my IE, looks llike it's been fixed... so far (it's now always blank when started up). I don't know what causes this, maybe my installing MSNMessenger 6.2 is aone cause....

    Personly i have never had problems with FF, except for some java, IE specifik thingies, FF can be slughis in thies events, but overall its IMO faster.

    Hello
    I just found out a possible thing that causes my IE to always set its homepage to msn.com.... I was playing around with Lavasoft and stumbled upon an option on default IE homepage-> www.msn.com and I just go "Whoa?". I've set it blank, and I'll just see what's going to happen next.
