Thank you, Anonymous, for your post. It was a good place to start. It never hurts to ask, "is it plugged in?" before assuming the machine is broken. I have tried the steps in your suggestion, but they don't work. Again, Thanks. -- Wayne

Hi, Cor-el . . . Thanks for your suggestions. I will look into them to see if that is the problem. -- Wayne

Thank you, cor-el . . . you solved my problem. I finally had the time to study and go through your suggested links. Your second one worked great. I now can change my homepage when desired. Thanks. -- Wayne

You're welcome
