There are several viruses and browser hijackers that will set your homepage to blank. I'm not sure why they do it, some sort of obscure vulnerability I'm sure, but anyway I'd recommend running a good anti-spy AND anti-virus, and then try to set it again. Viruses and spyware are the only things I know of that will cause this to happen over and over.

please try...\n\nclick on tools - internet options - retype (www.yahoo.com) on the address bar - click on delete cookies, delete files and clear history buttons - close internet options and close IE... \n\nit would be better that after doing those steps, you restart/reboot the computer. and retry to connect, and check if the homepage would load.

Hi,\nIf you are using Mozilla Firefox as your browser go to your favourite webpage and select ALL of the address of that page in the address bar at the top of the browser (click on it 3 times or click and drag across all of it).\n Then Right click mouse and select "copy"\nNow go click on the "Tools" menu and select "Options"\nOn the "General" tab at the top is the homepage Location, click on it once and use delete and/or backspace to clear it.\nNow you can either click on "Current Page" (if you still have your favourite page showing) or right click in the box and paste what you copied.\nClick "OK" box and u r sorted.\nUse same method for Internet Explorer if using that (Tools>Internet Options.... etc)\nRecomend you use Mozilla Firefox for a browser, it's free and safer & vry user friendly!\nCheers!!!

No, you don't have a problem. about:blank means that the start page of your browser is set to display a blank page when it starts.\nIn case it is Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu, click on Internet Options and check it on "start page".\n\nIf you prefer to have another page in place of a blank page, navigate to the desired page, go back to the Internet options and select actual page.

You have gotten a spyware on your computer that is changing your homepage each time you open IE. Changing your homepage settings manually wont work, so you will have to get rid of it through an antispyware program. Here are the steps to removing a spyware effectively.\n\n1. Many people think running the spyware program helps. However you need to first stop it from booting up. To do this, type "MSCONFIG" in RUN and in the last tab called "Startup", uncheck the program that resembles "Great search results".\n\n2. Now you will need to eliminate the current running spyware. Use CTRL-ALT-Delete to end the process tree for that spyware program.\n\n3. NOW you run a Spyware Program. You can either get Spybot Search and Destroy or Adaware SE (both are free), or better yet, get both of them just in case one program doesnt catch a key or two. Both programs can be downloaded and read more about at www.pcworld.com/52516\n\n4. Run the spyware program, and finally set your Homepage to your original. Restart your Pc and the malware should be gone.

when you open the internet explorer, go to TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS and under the Tab options, click SETTINGS.\n\nOn the upper part choices.. Check the box for "Open Homepage for new Tabs instead of a blank page"\n\nThis should do it.

Install windows defender and clean your system first then\ntry using IE again. My personal favourite however is zone-alarm internet security suite for firewall, anti-spyware and anti-virus.\n\nFor your information : -> about:blank is a blank page. Type the url in the address bar and hit ENTER key for the webpage to be displayed. when you do that you should see the redirection in status bar. This can be used for trouble shooting.\n\nI would say firefox is better in terms of security, addons, pulgins, themes and a lot more. Internet explorer is faster on windows platform but firefox, primarily designed to operate on linux, has less troubles while browsing.\n\nSome websites however do not support firefox browser due to active-x usage with IE.

My God !!!! \n\nFirefox is the best browser in town. Here's a simple way to solve your problem ( in the firefox menu) - tools - options - general - homepage location - use blank page.\n\nIf you still wanna remove it - start menu - control panel - add remove programs - then remove it.

then you neecd to re-install it.  are you using maybe net scape instead?  are you using aol?  if so, IE  isn't your default, so you nbeed to be logged online before you can use it, but you can then set it to be your home page default.

If you using Internet Explorer as your browser, simply go to Tools>Internet Options.  You will see the homepage option at the top of the dialog.  Click on the About Blank button to use no homepage or delete the existing homepage and specify your own.\n\nFor Firefox, go to Tools>Options>General and you can change the homepage.\n\nI hope that helps.
