| 700250 | 2008-08-25 11:57:00 | I slipstreamed SP3 and IE 7 to my XP Pro CD. It works fine except that every time when I load IE 7, it tries to load this page: www.msn.com and then the following error pops up: "The page you have requested cannot be found." I've changed the homepage to : www.google.com but it just doesn't load my homepage when I launch IE. I could however, go to my homepage after that. What happened? |

| 700251 | 2008-08-25 12:08:00 | This may help Problems with the first run page Sometimes the first run page reappears. Possible causes of this problem are: 1) The Welcome page does not load completely for whatever reason. 2) Scripting has been disabled (note: blocking ActiveX does not cause this problem) In such circumstances, the DWORD "RunOnceHasShown" may not be created in the following registry key, or it may not be set to a value of 1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceHasShown If your system is stuck at the initial IE7 welcome page, shut down IE, check for the existence of the RunOnceHasShown DWORD and set it to a value of 1. Also, ensure that the following key is set to 1: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceComplete copy the following and paste into a notepad file, then save it and change the .txt extension to a .reg and it will do it for you if you want Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "RunOnceHasShown"=dword:00000001 "SearchMigrated"=dword:00000001 "RunOnceComplete"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Search Page"="http://www.google.co.nz" |

How do I add it? |

| 700253 | 2008-08-25 12:31:00 | I think that should be _CURRENT_USER rather than _LOCAL_MACHINE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "RunOnceHasShown"=dword:00000001 "SearchMigrated"=dword:00000001 "RunOnceComplete"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Search Page"="http://www.google.co.nz" |
