I only have IE 9 installed.  I had no problems with the install, and my home page remained the same.  When installing you have to uncheck any options that you don't want - I unchecked them all.  "Clicking past" those options without deleting the checks basically tells the install to "go ahead" and install them. I don't know why your system froze; mine does that on a daily basis!   Cathy Champion     Fenton, MO 63026 (near St. Louis)   I feel compelled to share my experience!  Because of the difficulty with the installation, I figured it wasn't worth the grief.  I uninstalled Relatively Curious.  Upon re-opening the browser, my home page was changed.  WOW!  So, any ideas about "What have I done wrong???" ________________________________ From: Dave Robison dave@oldbones.co
