problem with IE7

[associates]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I have run out of ideas here. The problem is with my internet explorer 7, and it brings me to the start page (http://runounce.msn.com/runounce2.aspx).... i can go to different web pages but whenever i start IE 7... it brings me to that page instead of my home page (www.theage.com.au). I have cleaned up temporary internet files, cookies and history. I have also un-installed and re-installed it. None of these worked.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Thank you for your reply, Samcarney

I have already set the homepage to a site (e.g. www.theage.com.au) and clicked OK. When opening it, it still goes to http://runounce.msn.com/runounce2.aspx.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

in that case...

If you open the registry editor by going to the start menu and then choosing run, then type in regedit, then you may be able to fix the problem as I did.

• Fist, locate the key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] .
• Second, on the right side of the screen locate the subkey [RunOnceHasShown] .
• Third, click on the subkey mentioned in step 2 and change the value from 0 to 1 .
• Fourth, close regedit and restart IE.

if it still doesnt work i have more advice, but try this for now.

It works now.

This is what i did
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceHasShown is set to 1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceComplete is set to 1.

Thanks for your time
