Cannot reset the home page

I tried to reset my home page with Internet Options, but the area that is shaded and a message at the bottom of the dialog box shows some settings are managed by your administrator. Problem is my computer is a stand-alone system, not in any network configuration. The character of logon only available Windows is under my name.

Please help me solve this problem.

My first guess on this one, it's that an entry in file "hosts" diverts the search.  Look at your file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with Notepad.  The only line that does not begin with a symbol "#" should be:

127.0.0.1 localhost

If you have any other lines in this file, then delete them.

HTH,

  • Cannot change the home pages

    I scanned for malware, reset Firefox, search and uninstalled all toolbars and unknown extensions, uninstalled Firefox for all users on this computer, deleted all the profile folders for all users on this computer and re-installed Firefox after each of these changes. Firefox retains settings and works fine until the computer is restarted. Then, Firefox comes back to home pages that have been set up several months ago. I tried this with different versions of Firefox for a few months to see if it makes a difference. This isn't.
    What is happening on a Windows System 7 Pro 64-bit as part of a 2008 Server domain (no roaming profile configured).
    Where it is to find the old settings and how do I get rid of them?

    Use you the Advanced SystemCare or any other software security/utility with a protection function of the parameters? These can be called surf Protection, Protection of the browser, the Home Page Protection, etc. You may need to turn those off in order to save changes to settings.

  • cannot set the home page to about: blank, it keeps loading google search page

    After trying a small utility, I'm stuck with the toolbar of Babylon and the home page... Yes... I place the small checkpoint to disable installation...
    No problem, I managed to remove all that...
    But since then I can not get my homepage to stay together about: blank... it continues from the Google search page. I managed to link the homepage about button: empty, but when I add a new page (by clicking on the + sign next to the tab on the right most) I get the Google search page...
    Thanks in advance.
    Lody Claessen J.

    Hello l.j.claessen, please perform the following steps - they must remove the remaining bits of Babylon:

    • Go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "view folder", then a new window will open. in this window look out for a file named user.js, delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards. This will get rid of the file which is crushing your custom setting homepage.
  • RoboHelp 6 - generate chm - Menu - & gt; Cannot display the Home Page-

    Hello
    I was able to generate a CHM on my local PC, but when I read the help line in the window and I go to the OPTIONS in the window menu (next to the icon to print), it displays the "Cannot display Page" messge

    Please see screenshot

    Someone please help

    Welcome to our community, apollo321

    What offered Colum is certainly valid. However, based on your screenshot it seems you are maybe by clicking on the home and be puzzled as to why the home page cannot be displayed. If this is the case, you must configure the point home to display the desired page.

    In RoboHelp 6 accomplish you it as follows:
    Expand the Windows username folder
    Double-click the CHM window and you should see the properties of the window
    Click on the Advanced... button properties
    Fill in the field titled "Home".
    Recompile the project

    Note that you can really put anything on the ground. You can insert a web address like http://www.google.com , or you can point to a topic in your help system. If you want this area to open your default topic, you must type the path and the name of the default theme.

    For example, if I open a newspaper site, click on an article, I can go back into the pages of the article by using the back or next button. However, the back button becomes non-functional in the first page of the article and I can't go back to the home page of the newspaper.

    Problems with the back button doesn't work does not correctly can be caused by the extension of McAfee SiteAdvisor.

    Thank you for the question!

    It is disheartening to know that have problems you with hyperlinks. As I understand well you can't cross Web site after you open the home page.

    I need to ask you some questions to help you best.

    1. which browser is installed on the computer?

    2. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    3. the problem persists with a particular Web site?

    4. do you get an error message when you click links after you open the forum page?

    Perform the steps from the link if you have Internet Explorer and check.

    Nothing happens when you click a link in Internet Explorer

    Warning: Reset the Internet Explorer settings can reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings.

  • Why the home page back to the support page?

    Standard firefox start page guard back to the mozilla support page after 2 seconds and I can't come back.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    You can check the setting of the homepage:

    • Tools > Options > general > startup: Homepage

    Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol (pipe).
