Hello all. I just built a new computer and now I am having a few minor problems. Board is Asus A7A266 with an Athlon 2000+. The problem I am having is that msnbc.com is my home page. When I put my address in yp personalize my home page, it will not save. I have also found that I can't access a few sites. It is dropping a cookie in the folder, it just does not save correctly on the home page. I have swapped processors, reformatted and reinstalled twice, swapped hard drives, changed memory, reinstalled with a different copy of 98se. As for software, I have cleared all history, cache and cookies, I have gone to control panel and run the fix for IE, have tried updating to IE6.0 and then back to 5.5 and I even took the cookie from another machine where I was able to personalize and dropped it in the folder on my machine. I am also unable to access a few web pages, will just act like it's loading and then say done, but page is blank. It is the same sites, not just random. The only hardware I didn't change is MB. I am running Win 98se and IE 5.5. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
