On the Programs tab, click Manage add-ons to display the Manage Add-ons dialog box. Click an add-on from the list in the right pane, and then click the Disable button. Repeat step 3 until you identify the add-on that is causing the issue. The No Add-ons mode allows Internet Explorer to temporarily run without any add-ons like Toolbars, ActiveX controls, etc. The No addons mode in Internet Explorer is rather useful when you want to troubleshoot incompatible browser add-ons or extensions. Recently, I faced a similar issue & I tried everything to reset my Internet Explorer’s start page or homepage. Nothing seemed to work, I even uninstalled & reinstalled the Internet Explorer, cleared the Temp folder & all offline files etc. Below is the procedure that worked for me to Fix: Cannot change Internet Explorer Homepage Start. Sep 07, 2005 Internet Explorer cannot open the search page - posted in Virus, Spyware, Malware Removal: A friend asked me to look at his computer when he found that IE would not find any web pages and no program could find its server to update. Norton 2002 had found Bloodhound.w32.EP but could not remove it. I ran AVGFree and a virus was healed, but it was not the same one found by NAV. But there may be websites that are not compatible with the new browser at which point you will need to use Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11). IE 11 is still included in Windows 10 but can be difficult to locate and launch. Here are three ways to launch Internet Explorer. First method: Open Start menu, select All Apps. Today I decided to open Windows 7 Forums in Internet Explorer, to see if the problem with cutting and pasting in this forum, was caused by Google Chrome. What I discovered was that Internet Explorer won't open my Comcast Home Page. I get a message that flashes on the screen that says something about. If you open a New Tap Page in Internet Explorer, you may see a new version of the New Tab Page featuring news and such instead of the old.The topsites are still there, but the whole page has changed as news powered by MSN is now pushed on the page as well. This is nearly identical to the on which top sites and news are also displayed by default.While some Internet Explorer users may like the change, others may want to restore the old New Tab Page design instead which does not pull news from Microsoft servers when you open a new tab in Internet Explorer.Note: It is unclear which versions of Internet Explorer are affected by the change. I noticed it on Internet Explorer 11 running on Windows 10. If you have a different version of Internet Explorer on your system, let me know if it features the change as well. Restore Internet Explorer's old New Tab PageThe first screenshot shows the new tab page design of Internet Explorer in all of its glory. It displays only eight top sites, instead of ten as was the case on the old New Tab Page. Below that is the news section with news being pulled from MSN.What is missing? This explanation of how to return to the old “new tab page” is very clear. I would just add if you don’t see the cogwheel icon (I did not), look for “tools” (in the “File Edit, View, Favorites. Tools, Help” menu at the left end of the task bar), and click on “Tools”. Then follow what Martin Brinkmann says. I am in Windows 10, IE 11.Why on earth MS made this change, I have no idea, but it made it more difficult to do the work I was doing.Thanks Martin for quickly providing a fix to get us back to where we were before!. Your helpful post should be widely disseminated. The big challenge was to learn the Microsoft jargon for this control. In 1995-1996, I provided outsourced telephone tech support for The Microsoft Network (MSN.) The product has become substantially degraded in the past 21 years, so I consciously avoid it I also suggest adding a screen shot of the Internet Explorer 11 (IE-11) “Internet Options” screen which contains the “Tabs” control about midway down the page. I added that detail to my Facebook page.I use Windows 7 and IE-11 – and steadfastly refuse to “downgrade” to Windows 10, which has many “features” such as adware and malware that I do not desire. Thanks for that, very quick fix! Next time they bundle this in an update I’ll knowI feel an idiot as I didn’t spot the “tabs” menu on Internet Options – Win7 and IE11 has been so trouble free I never thought to look. First they fiddle with the location of the tabs and then steal the tabs off you – have they been to GACA (Google & Android College of Aggravation) or something?I started with Win 3.1 etc and NT at work, managed to survive Win ME at home years ago, avoided Win8, then beat MS’s constant nagging to upgrade to 10 last year. But I wonder what the hell is going on in that organisation now! Monetising everything?. I just logged into IE11 to Google info about stopping Firefox from automatically updating me to the FF57 crap version, and when I clicked on new tab I was totally peed off to see a completely strange web page. This sort of thing REALLY irritates me. I’d like to get some Stillsons on the bollocks of whoever makes these decisions. I spend half my time trying to prevent Windows 10 updates or similar, and as far as Microsoft Edge and Cortana go, MS can stick these where the sun don’t shine. This is awful. Between the unwelcome automatic upgrade from ie 8 to 11, and now with the unwelcome new firefox quantum, I do not have a decent browser to use. I don’t want favorites and can’t seem to find bookmarks on this ie11. I want a bookmark off the regular tools or main menu, so I can click the word bookmark, not deal with any symbols, scroll down my lists of word labeled bookmarks not symbols, hover and expand word labeled folders not symbols, and easily organize move and access any website I have bookmarked, etc. I have hundreds of bookmarks here on firefox for working duties, and this IE favorites list is not cutting it. How do I get the simple bookmark function in ie 11 so I can build a bookmark database of my hundreds of working websites I need to go to? Someone kill off every tech person on the planet and give them a very very long vacation. They’ve done enough and I don’t want any more ‘upgrades’. I want the damned browser to stay the same, is that too much to ask? Where is bookmarks in internet explorer 11? I’m not a teen girl, I don’t have favorites. I have long lists of websites which I need instant access to. I use them randomly and I need to stay organized. WHERE DID BOOKMARKS GO IN IE11? Do not answer anything about favorites, I don’t need a long bar across my screen that only holds a few dozen recently accessed sites. When I’m done with a site, I need a new one, not to return to ‘favorties’. This is a work computer, I’m using it for work not entertainment. Where is the bookmark feature in IE 11 please. Never10 and stop screwing with the basic expected browser functions!. God damned hamburger menu symbols! Take your symbols and shove them. Normal intelligent people read WORDS. Idiots with programming skills. Stop ‘improving’ the standard browsers to make them easier to use for the illiterate! You tech nerds need a life. Constantly having to learn new skills to use the same basic computer functions is the most illogical approach to tech management I’ve ever heard of and now everyone is doing it. Fire someone and save the time and money instead. LEAVE IT ALONE. God, I hate new technology now a days, which is a direct result of these illusionary upgrades where nothing more is accomplished than to waste my precious time I would otherwise be spending doing actual work and accomplishing real world goals. Wasting time to learn about the never ending tech upgrades and changes is just that, a pure waste of time. It’s only fun for the tech nerds and is not entertaining for anyone else. Get over your own god damned egos and listen to the consumers, we’re tired of the never ending sequence of changes. Nobody asked you jerks to upgrade anything, stop it! Provide new versions if you must, and stop messing around with old ones and stop answering every crybaby net addict when they call for a tweak here and a tweak there. Let them customize it themselves if they want it, leave the products alone so the rest of us normal people can enjoy them and use them efficiently without having to learn some new icon or tool or use or location or stupid ass change and get notices of frigging updates available for everything literally every other day. Okay, this problem has me pulling my hair out. I've tried almost everything. Running a scan for viruses since an internet forum said it may be a virus, nothing. I've uninstalled IE from a windows xp disk, then reinstalled it, it still does not work. My local area connection says it is connected. I tried installing Firefox to see if that would work, and it says it cannot find the server. I've restored default, deleted cookies and history, I've run a winsock fix, and I've read where other people have had the problem, and it seems that no one else has solved it either short of reformatting the hardrive and reinstalling windows. I'm trying my best to avoid that, because I dont have the disk to do it. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Oh and the version of IE is 6.0. Welcome aboard!I tried installing Firefox to see if that would work, and it says it cannot find the serverAll sites or just one?If you tried both browsers, it's something else.First, see if you can ping.Start-Run, enter cmd, press enter.In the DOS window typeping google.com press ENTERYou should see four bits of data sent to google.com and a response time. If it says 'operation timed out' 4 times, you have a problem connecting that is not related to your browser.In this case it could be anything from your computer to the ISP.If you get a ping from the command window OK, the next place I would look is the DNS/proxy settings in the browser.FF: Tools-options-Advanced-Network-Settings, try the auto settings or direct connection to the Internet. If you have manual settings in there, FF will save them, just gray them out.IE:Tools-Internet Options-Connections-LAN SettingsSame applies here, connection script, Auto, Auto connection script, or use a proxy. Theoretically everything should be auto, but you may have to fiddle around with these. I have pinged google, and any other site I could think of, it all comes back with a reply, so I know I'm connected. I figured it would have something to do with the DNS or proxy settings, which I havn't yet had a chance to try yet, but I will and let you all know if it worked or not. Someone else had told me it may have been a trojan, that is why I ran a virus scan, but it detected nothing. So if the virus is no longer there, it can still effect my computer until I go in a manually change things? If you can ping sites, then you don't have a DNS problem. It sounds like a firewall/router/ISP problem to me. A couple of easy things to try would be telnet google.com 80 at a command prompt (if you get a black screen, not an error then you have no problem connecting on port 80). Also see if you can connect to secure websites (e.g. and websites on non-standard ports (e.g. which would help to see whether it was particular protocols causing problems, and whether browsers work. edited by: ReceptionalAndy at 9:24 pm (utc) on June 1, 2008. I have values in all three, and I had already reset my ip address, I had the isp do it for me. Ipconfig and iprenew I've tried. It did nothing either. I checked the local host, and thats all fine as well, I have changed my dns servers, and added a couple others, but I havn't yet been able to try and see if that worked or not. I have to network my computer together first, and I just havn't gotten around to it yet. I also got a hold of a disk with internet explorer on it, but im not sure if that will help or not, since I've tried to uninstall and reinstall it before from a windows xp disk. Internet Explorer Unable To Open Search Page On ChromeHopefully the dns servers will work, if not, then I'm at my wits end on what to do. I've reset all my setting with both browers to default, and that didn't fix the problem either. Should I just chunk the computer out the window? That seems to be my best idea at the moment. Does exactly what it says on the tin: turning the frozen wasteland into a tropical rainforest, with just as much, if not more, variety in the landscape as the vanilla. Realistic needs and diseases requiem.
