Hi, i have posted this problem in another part of g2g but has not been resolved as of yet,since it applies more to this section of internet and browers.I had AOL which i deleted and then went back to my original isp which is Sympatico.ca.Problem is i can dialup my connection no problem but after that the Sympatico page does not display the screen just stays on Destop display and there are no errors why the isp page does not come up.I have been reading just about every help site but nobody has a similar problem(no error message).Surely there has to be somebody out there that knows the cure.I did install the winXp but never had a problem with Aol.Even my isp tech did not have an answer for this one.Help,Tom

i think i understnad what you mean, by any chance do you think that your home page isn't the right URL. Send it to us and we'll let you know if its valid or not.
thanx

to change homepage:

tools>internet options>general> under home page you can type in the url of the page you wish, if the home page keeps changeing to something else tell us so that we can adress that, which whould most likely be a malware issue.

Thanks for all the replies,i checked my home page url which says sympatico.msn.ca which is my isp home page which would normally come up after you made your connection.I would like to explain this better but this is the best i can do.Tom

[james_8970]

ok can you change it to www.google.ca (or what ever the country you live in it'll change) and tell me if this'll work. You can do so by following mile runners discription. If you change the home page and it continues to do this i would suggest moving onto the malware forum.
thanx

since no one decided to give you a link to the malware forum...i just want to make sure you know where it is


Please go to the malware forum in my signature and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.


(give links guys....it's very helpful)

[james_8970]

opps thanx for giving that.
James

yeh, sorry about that, i thought i had posted the malware canned speach, sorry again

[hilbilly87]

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions,I come to find out that internet explorer does not automaticly bring up my home page of sympatico because of running win xp.It was a dragout issue and a time consuming work but all was not wasted as i learned a lot of new things.Thanks again for your great support and knowing that help is just a click away.Tom
