How do you make yahoo UR homepage when it somehow changed to MSN, and box to change is greyed out in IE Prop?

I have gone into IE and gone to the general tab where you set your homepage and everything is greyed out and it will not allow any changes, also on that one tab, General, none of the rest, the "Apply" button is also greyed out ? what causes this? And does anyone know of "Hotfix", or any kind of fix. Also, I run xp media center, but when installing is shows up as XP PRO, Xp Pro did not come with the system, and when I am in control panel and hit add/remove windows components it ALWAYS ASKS FOR XP PRO, and will not accept XP media center. Has anybody else run into this? And no matter what type of virusware, spyware, firewall, and registry utilities I use, and defrag and clean disc often, I have to COMPLETELY REINSTALL, not restore or repair, almost once a week, and this is the replacement unit, and has already in four months had the cd/dvd rom drive replace twice, do I just have bad luck, or just blind to what could be causing all of this. I have an HP Pavillion dv8000, w/ AMD turio

2. well, i had an h-p once.... and it was doing a lot of crazy crud (not identical) like you are getting.

   if still in warranty, get ahold of h-p again and get your money back or a totally new unit. be firm with them. they love to give ya back more junk. i sold my h-p and got an e-machine, and she just chugs right along... no prob's. if you are getting this much trouble, no single answer, and maybe only a large book will correct the problem.



3. this problem basically appears if ur not the adminstrator or if ur adminstrator account is being used by some one else. the cause can be that ur adminstrator account has been dissabled or deleated-because of this u can not perform any control panel works. u will simply have to check ur windows if they r the original ones or not cause microsoft has made bugs that hit pirated windows and dissable their main functions which causes software abnormalities which all seem like hardware

   malfunctions. reinstall windows dude.

   u can also switch to firefox which is totally bug free and much faster.its also free.
