problems with internet explorer 7

Hi

Wondering if there's anyone who can help.

Have today installed IE7 on my computer (Windows XP) and unfortunately I have lost my normal home page.

Every time I log on to internet I get the 'customise your settings' page, with the message 'Thanks for Choosing IE7'.  Even though I've gone into internet options and made sure my home page is set as I want it I still get this annoying page up.  I have even had a go at customising my settings and saving them but this bloody page still keeps coming up.  Does anyone know how to fix this please

Is this the page:



If so, there is the solution:

You can use any of three options.

Have clicked on the button at bottom titled "Choose your settings"?  My hunch is this, if you do that once and follow through with it, you may then be able to change your home page. 

Hi Everyone

It won't let me post a reply as it says I have already done it!!!!  I cannot do anything on a computer at the moment, hence this new post.


Re the first answer, yes this is the screen I get.

Re the second answer, yes of course I've done this, there seems to be a problem saving the settings...is this the reason it keeps taking me back to the page?

I've tried the solutions in the pc-doctor guide.

The first solution run 'gpedit.msc' windows cannot find so this did not work.

The second solution run 'regedit' did work to a point.  However, I could not find the RunOnceHasShown' file so this did not work.

The third solution I did what it suggested, however, when I go on to the internet I get a message saying

SECURITY WARNING THE CURRENT WEBSITE PAGE IS TRYING TO OPEN SITE IN TRUSTED SITES LIST.  DO YOU WANT TO OPEN:

http://go.microsoft.com
http://runonce.msn.com

When you click yes I get back to the same page that has caused a problem in the first page, when I click no I get the page MICROSOFT CANNOT DISPLAY WEB PAGE

Help!!!
the attached comes up and when I click yes it takes me back to the customise setting page so I feel no further forward.

Any fixes would be appreciated

Cheers x

 

If RunOnceHasShown key doesn't exist, you may need to create it, and assign it value 1.
