Instead of taking you to your home page, where exactly does IE take you when you start it up?
IE is very prone to being crippled by the many spyware/hijack/etc. programs that have become so prevalent lately. Have a look through the threads in our Security forum for instructions on where to download (and how to run) free tools to remove these malicious programs. If any of the removal programs (SpyBot, Ad Aware, HijackThis, etc.) detect problems on your system, please post a new thread in the Security forum detailing exactly what the tools found and any other details that might help us get your problem fixed as quickly as possible.
