Friends, thanks for your advice. However. I guess my problem stemmed from "Real Player" that I downloaded last week and a flash player situation. A friend of mine who is a computer genius was able to help it out. It is fixed. THANKS ADAM.

Can you check the URL of your home page? The built-in home page about:home probably can't be customized. You would need to first change your home page to a Google URL.

I don't use iGoogle, so after that, I'm not sure what to suggest.
