I just got my Dell Insprion/1100. When I go to the
internet and then to internet options I set my default
start up page as www.daily webshots. Every time I start
my internet it never keeps the default of www.daily
webshots. It always goes to a page I don't want. It does
not keep the default I requested. I remember to tell it
to apply what I requested and then okay. It won't keep
what I asked.
