IE 7

Running WinXP w/ SP3.
Recently installed SP3 and IE7. When I start IE7,
http://runonce.msn.com/runonce3.aspx webpage appears in lieu of my Google
default homepage. When I make selections and save settings, response is
"Settings were not able to be saved successfully."
Ok, how do I get rid of the runonce webpage?

See (Ignore the title):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945385
"A blank Web page is displayed when you start Internet Explorer 7".
Also see:
"Problem: IE always goes to http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx instead of
your homepage": http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp

Vincenzo, thanks. I never would have connected the blank page problem &
solution with the problem I encountered. The solution works exactly as
advertised. Please consider these thanks as your reward for volunteering your
expertise.

And thanks to Vincenzo from me, too.
I tried IE8 but it had strange side effects, like stretching my
wallpaper out of control, and also making the text displayed in my
Outlook 2003 very small. I reverted back to IE7 and all was well,
except for the Runonce problem.
