Netscape versions prior to version 8 did not share anything with Internet Explorer, except for one very odd case of a bookmark issue where Netscape 6 was reading Internet Explorer's bookmarks. I doubt Netscape 8 is causing your problem, and in fact can gaurentee you it is not.\n\nMy guess would be that the problem is caused by Microsoft antispyware, or another antispyware tool. The problem is called homepage locking. Some antispyware tools will try and change the homepage to prevent spyware infections. Microsoft's antispyware, called Windows Defender does this and changes it to a Microsoft homepage.\n\nAre you sure you provided me with a correct URL?\n\nIf you don't have an antispyware tool, I recommend WebRoot. Webroot (for pay software) gives you control over what homepage your browser(s) use.\n\nhttp://www.webroot.com\n\nBarring that, there is a free piece of software called IE Restrictions which may help.\n\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/get/ierestrictions.html\n\nIf you think that Internet Explorer is changing its own settings, try turning off any antispyware tools, and trying this:\n8.In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey, if it exists:\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Software&#92;Policies&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Control Panel\n9.If the ResetWebSettings value or the HomePage value exists in this key, right-click the values, and then click Delete.\n\nNote You may also want to verify any Web site information contained in the Default_Page_URL value and the Start Page value in the following registry keys:\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_USERS&#92;Default&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n10.On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion.\n11.On the File menu or on the Registry menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editor.

Get IE7 again, and just mess with the options for a bit, and get it like you want it.  I didnt like IE7 at first but I disabled some of the options on it, and I have it set up like IE6!

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to "Tools" on the menu above, select "Internet Options," and on the top of "General" tabpage, you will see the box where you can change your webpage. Just type the new address into the white box and click "OK" below.

Can IE connect to *any* page?  If so, then just reset your home page to something that is working--- go in IE to Tools--> Internet Options and type a chosen home page in the box.  If IE can't connect at all, check with your ISP because you may need to reset your proxy settings or similar, which is not hard to do but you need to know what your service expects you to be using. In other words, what works for me might not work for you!  But your ISP can tell you.

use the firefox support to help you set it up as default if enough info wasn't given above. Also, some websites need IE (it happens and it sucks) luckily some guys have made add-ons, be sure to get open in IE tab for your firefox, it beats hassling with actually opening up IE.

it's very simple just uninstall it by going to Add or remove programs but remember your internet explorer will be restore to the version from which you have installed the new one. i mean to say that if ou have installed it from Version 6.0, 6.0 Service Pack 1 etc.

Oh, for gosh sakes, don't update to IE7 with that machine.  it would stink. \n\nVisit http://www.microsoft.com and go to the Download section.  Then pick the Internet section and get IE6 with SP1.  This will work the best.  \n\nIf you use the Windows Update feature, uncheck the box for IE7, otherwise, you will be uninstalling it again. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Not an answer, I'm afraid, but I too have been having huge problems with IE7.  Once I open it, it just sits there with a "Connecting" message and its window cannot be moved or minimised.   I also get a warning message that its trying to change my default search engine from Google...

First thing is that in some instances IE and Netscape have been known not to play well with each other.  You can, if it is an option, choose one of them only and uninstall the other.  You can also try increasing the size of your internet cache, this can be done in the tools/options section of the software.  Last choice would be to increase the amount of memory your pc has, if you are out of memory, you are out of cache space and unfortunately, out of luck.  Cboy

Your link is probably wrong. To change it or fix it, on IE you would go to Tools>Internet options. Then in the first text box type the web page you want it to go to. If it's appearing up blank it might be about:blank.

In IE7 go to the tools option then select internet options at the bottom.  This will open a dialog box and you can change your home page to what ever you want it to be.  Be sure to click the apply button when you are done.

Right click on the icon and select properties.  Change the "opens with" property to the browser of your choice and close the window. I think the icon may still show your default browser, but the association will be changed.

I have found that when I close IE, it seems the last page is About: blank.  I think blank is like a new page in word - it is the first thing IE opens and the last thing it closes and it is part of how the system works.\n\nIt seems that it is trying to change your page, because that is what is showing when the action starts, but that is not the cause of your problem.  The software's that try to change your home page are generally adware or spyware and they run on your computer as IE is starting up - hence the code running while blank is your page when IE starts.\n\nScan your system for adware and spyware using norton (or some other program) and remove it.  If you can not, count yourself lucky that norton has blocked the code change for your home page and enjoy your day.\n\nPeace!

On the right side click in Tools then Internet Options and click the tab 'advanced' in there you can change and modify the IE7 the way you like it..☺

Netscape is not a very good browser.  While it is based on the rock-solid foundation of the Mozilla browser/Mozilla Firefox, extra stuff that AOL added helps to make it a less attractive option than Firefox.\n\nOne feature that severely annoys me (maybe you'd like it) is that Netscape uses Internet Explorer to load pages that it trusts (such as Netscape.com).  While this will allow pages such as Windows Update to function in Netscape, it also opens you up to any security flaws in IE whenever Netscape uses IE to load a page.  This behavior can be disabled, however.  (BTW, if you really want this functionality in Firefox, you can get the free extension IETab.  However, IETab is slightly different in that it only uses IE to load pages you specifically request to be loaded using IE.)\n\nI also find Netscape 8 to have an ugly, overly-flashy interface.  I like the simplicity of Firefox's interface, with the smaller toolbars and plain colors.  This gives me more space to browse the web than Netscape does.  However, if you don't like the way Firefox looks, you can go to http://addons.mozilla.org and download a new theme.  While Netscape also supports theming, I don't think there are many themes out there for it (if any).\n\nI'd say Firefox would be your best bet.  It has a clean interface, tabbed browsing, faster page load times, support for web standards that IE just doesn't have, automatic updates, and more.  Get it from http://www.mozilla.com\n\nI hope that answers your question.
