Just installed Microsoft Office 2000, and now I can't
designate Yahoo or Google as my home page. Any ideas why?
 
In IE6, Under tools/internet options/general tab, I've
designated Yahoo as my home page, but it says "page cannot
be displayed." This has only begun happening after I
installed Microsoft Office 2000.>-----Original Message-----
