I`ve been pressing the wrong buttons/keys and now when I press internet explorer I get a window that reads `Error 404`. how do I get back to my Homepage when I click the `doofer` for IE? tia

Go on the homepage you want to use, then go to Tools --- Internet Options and then where it says "homepage", click on "use current". This should sort it.

[carlton23]

Tried it squarbear, but nope, didn`t work, still get Error 404.

[squarebear]

Can you get to any website?

[carlton23]

Yes I can get `yahoo` and `aol`

[squarebear]

Ok. Try going to Tools --- Internet Options and then where it says "homepage", type in http://www.google.com That will make google your home page.

Which website address are you trying to use for your homepage?

[carlton23]

Virgin Media

[squarebear]

That's not a website address. It will be something like www and end with .co.uk or .com

Can you get to the website if you type the URL in the address box ? It may be a genuine temporary error with your homepage website.

[squarebear]

That's what I was thinking Geezer but we need to know what the name of the website is.

ntlworld.com

[squarebear]

Try putting http://www.virginmedia.com/ in your homepage under the options part like earlier.

Can you get to http://www.virginmedia.com/ if you type it in the address bar?

[Old_Geezer]

http://www.virginmedia.com/ comes up for me :-(
