IE7 on an xp system...i have windows live. 2 days ago it started...i start
ie and ie will not go to my home page(my msn.com). it tells me it cannot find
it or sometimes it loads a blank page. i have tried cleaning temp files
cookies browsing history. i have tried disabling add ons, changing my home
page and back to my msn.com. so far nothing seems to work. any help or
suggestions would be great
thanks

Hi,
You cleared *all* cookies, right?

Run the command "ipconfig /flushdns" (without quotes) from Start> Run.

Have you reset (powered down) modem, router, etc?

Turn on the Windows Firewall from Control Panel> Windows Firewall and
disable any third-party firewall or security suite, as a test. See if that
program is causing the problem.

Hope this helps,
Don

Is it msn.com or my.msn.com?

Do all other home page choices work OK?

Hi,
Can you connect to http://www.msn.com ?

In Internet Options> Privacy, try a setting of Low or Accept all.
