No it still won' allow me Try changing it to none...re-boot a few times then try to change it towhich one you want.
Are you running a firewall ? ?Can you get to the page you want as your start page with no trouble or is the page being blocked ? ?It doesn't let me change it at all, when i go into Tools-Internet Options 'use currnet, use default and use blank' are all disabled, its says at the BOTTEM 'Some setting are managed by system addministrator'. Yeah i can get to any page i want when i load up IE no problem, its just a bit annoying that i can't set the home page which is usualy google.I think, your problem is, that I believe, you are not logged in as Administrator. I'm not sure yet how to FIX it, but I think this is the issue we have to work on.Boot into safemode and do it from there and re-boot....

p.s. Follow the same instructions...
p.s.s. Whose MACHINE is this ? ?I own the PC myself. I pressed F8 to go into the options for Safe Mode but when i want to select it the keyboard freezes, it won't let me go up or down to even go into safe mode  . My keyboard only has a USB connection. I tried my old "Dodgy"  keyboard where if i use it the mouse freezes! . So i used the old keyboard, when into F8, went into safe mode, PC starts up but then the mouse has frozen so i can't click my login name Use the Tab button to navigate thru the login screen...
I'd get a new PS2 keyboard as well...thet're not that EXPENSIVE and as you SEE pretty handy to have.
