What does it change to, and does it only change after you reboot, or while you are using Mr. Browser?

Are you using Internet Exploder as your web browser?

IT'S AN MSN PAGE, BUT NOT "MY MSN"

Seems like it changes while I'm surfing & when I finally return to my Home Page the original is not there.

http://www.msn.com/ <---This the address in my Internet Options.

HI WIZ,

I re-booted my computer last night and this morning the correct MSN homepage returned to my computer screen.
