AboutKen Ivey Expertise If you are new to the Internet you may be anxious to give it the gas; or terrified to take your foot from the brake! Either way, with over 20 years on what is now called the information highway, I can steer you in the right direction. Are you ready? Let's hit the road!
Experience I have over 20 years of practical experience with web-related issues, and some military computer training. I've worked for a computer manufacturer, and own a small technology company specializing in web-design, hosting, and internet media production. I am the webmaster of several sites, and e-newsletter editor for Rotary District 6760 which is comprised of 65 clubs throughout middle Tennessee.
Education/Credentials I'd like to say a diploma from a revered educational facility hangs on my wall, and perhaps someday it will. In reality, everything I know has been self-taught, much of it done so in the hallowed halls of that venerable institution called "The School of Hard Knocks".
I want to change my home page, but my computer refuses to do it.
I click "internet options" (from control panel or--when on internet site--tools/internet option/home page). I then change the home page (from blank to google), click "apply", click "OK."
But when I again go on the internet, the home page still reads "blank."
Any idea why?
Many thanks,
Steve
Answer Steve, it sounds like your home page may be "hijacked". (Nefarious web sites or applications sometimes do this.)
I'm no expert on how to fix this. You'll need to google "web browser hijack" or something similar. Also, it might be a good idea to install good virus/spyware protection on your computer.
