msn

This is for a friend he has downloaded msn8 and has no problem with anything exept that his home page has his base as Sydney Austalia and most of the links are Australian, he lives in Manchester England. He has tried for weeks to change it but failed. I'ts probably so simple but how?
He's tried all the obvious things to no avail. Thanks.

I'm going to send this one to the Internet and browsers forum. Maybe you will get some help there. Goodluck.

Are you talking about the "It's better with the butterfly" browser? If so, I don't think that you can change the home page. I tried to use that goofy browser when I first got DSL installed and I never could change it. I was stuck with MSN as a home page. Besides that, the email part never did work. So I went back to IE5.5 (when I had WindozeME) and IE6 now that I have a new PC with XP on it.

Hi, I may be a little bit of help...

No, there isn't any way to change the home page in MSN8 (or MSN 6 or 7), I used to work for MSN.

Myself and all the other "tech geeks" that would do such a thing worked in vain to come up with a "reg hack" that would let you change the home page but eventually we gave up.

On the bright side, have your friend go to http://www.passport.net and click on "View or edit your profile", make sure that the "County/Region" and the "Time Zone" are set correctly, MSN gets data from the passport settings and this may be why his home page is wrong.


Hope this helps,
