May be my explication is not clear because my explorer is
in French, but in any way go to tools menu and before the
last item which is something like reestablish web
parameters you can do it by marking the case of home
pags

You can run MSAS, go to Tools-> Advanced Tools-> System Explorers-> Internet
Explorer / IE Settings (on the left) and then just set all the options you
need selecting them in the main window and using Change URL/page on the
right (remember to save the settings as default after you finish all
changes) or just choose to Restore all IE default settings.

However if the problem with changing homepage persists, start the computer
in the Safe mode (F8 during boot-up), run Windows Explorer, go to your
profile temporary folders (usually C:\Documents and Settings\username\local
settings\temp and c:\Documents and Settings\username\local
settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5) and delete all the files in
those directories and subdirectories.
Then do a full system scan with MS AntiSpyware (check the proper option
under Scan settings). Also using some other "cleaning" software such as:

Spybot Search&Destroy http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2471.html
HijackThis http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
CWShredder http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3019.html
Ad-Aware SE Personal http://www.lavasoft.com/software/adaware/
McAfee Stinger http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

If you run HijackThis you can check the log it prepares - just copy and
paste it to the http://www.hijackthis.de web page and click analyze button.

I am having this problem too where MSAS will not open.

I am on Windows XP.

Have you tried to repair/reinstal the MSAS?
Have you tried to run MSAS in the Safe mode?
Have you tried to clean the system with other suggested software first?
Have you checked the error information provided in the sytem logs (Control
Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Even viewer-> System and Application logs)?
