I know this has been covered before.. Except, "why" do I have to go into Internet Options> Tab Settings> and 'Set' the "The new tab page' option, EVERY TIME IE9 IS OPENED upon start-up of the browser? CAN this be a PC Tune-up Tool losing my
settings 'for me?' each time it "checks for errors"?
I do prefer the New Page Option... but having to set my computer every time is making it lose it's appeal..."m" Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Steve.
Steve, Welcome to Sevenforums!
It is possible, cause I don't have that problem. 'Tune-up' tools might not be the best idea, as any tool you might need comes with windows 7, and any other tool seems to mess with more than it should and fixes less than it could.
Hi DustSailor, Thanks for the welcome! Even though I haven't graduated to using
Windows 7; Vista 32 is what I'm [putting up with?] running at the moment. Your
comment about the 'Tune-up' tool is interesting... which is why I mentioned it in my first post. However, from what I've heard, 7 has lost all the "hang-up's" that
Vista had [& I'm still getting to grips with -even after 3 1/2yrs!]
Thanks, Steve.
Both Vista and Windows 7, when fully updated, do not have any hangups other than what may be installed on them. Have you tried removing the tune up tool to see if it is what is causing the problem?
Hi DustSailor, Funny you should mention that... I thought this 'particular' tune-up tool was actually "slowing down" my computer [a paid for tool & all!] so, I removed it- to no real benefit. Rang them up to make a query and they were upset with me doing my own diagnostics and questioned my 'loyalty' to their product...! But, yes, I have thought about it!.. Since I've booted up this morning, [my time] my IE9 Tab Settings have gone back to Default. "A blank page..." ...and what are you supposed to "do" with a "blank page"... ? Steve
Any company that questions your loyalty instead of acting professionally in my opinion is a tosser and obviously desperate. Do an SFC scan: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker - tutorial created by Brink
Could you by any chance have another program causing this problem? You might try resetting IE. Use this tutorial and disable add-ons as it suggests to see if there is a conflict there, and also reset IE: Troubleshooting Internet Explorer Issues - tutorial crreated by Capt.Jack Sparrow
Hi DustSailor, Hey thanks for the links, tips & tricks! I knew I'd come to the right place to get help [rather than the time consuming trawling the web.. lost cause!]
And.. ahem, PLEASE EXCUSE MEI only find out that there IS a Vista Forum...
YES! I have been called worse than "Slow" before!!But I appreciate your help
IMMENSLY! Thanks, Steve.
Right, well my issue is that the settings are lost when IE is closed. Beyond that, after changing the setting from "A Blank Page . . ." to "The New Tab Page . . ." (and, yes, making certain to click OK) it works like it should when I open new tabs.It just gets real old after every reboot ot have to reset this setting.
I'm running Win7 Home Premium 64bit on a HP Pavilion Notebook.
Jim, as stated above, try resetting IE using this tutorial that I provided to steve (by Capt.Jack). The microsoft fix-it might help in this area to fix your problem automatically. Be careful to read the warning at the bottom.
If that doesn't work, or you have settings that you do not want lost, let me know, and I will help you further
