I am using Win2000 and IE6 and now I cant get my home page to open when I am on the internet. I can go anywhere else but it won't let me gon on MSN. What do you think the cause could be?

P.S once you've done that download Firefox (free) and put IE to sleep.

Hi Rock:

When you say:
"and now I cant get my home page to open"

Does this mean that at one time, you COULD get
your home page to open with Win2K and IE6?

If so, what did you do (install/tweak/uninstall)
between the time it DID work, and the first time
it DIDN'T work?

Also, can you get to MSN by typing the URL
directly in the address bar, or is this just a
matter of your "default" home page not being
correctly set in IE (as Jim suggests)?

If you click this link:
http://www.msn.com/
Does MSN open properly?

yes, at one time I could get on...home page is set to MSN, and when I type in the URL it still gives me "page cannot be displayed". I did fix the registry recently but saw nothing to do with IE6 or MSN....
