saving settings internet explorer 7

I recently reinstalled ie 7. Now everytime I open ie, it goes to a page called
run once msn. It's supposed to be so I can save my search engine preferences.
The page says it couldn't save them. So I get this page everytime I open
ie.Is there a way to stop this page from coming up?

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup.

Why did you reinstall IE7? What anti-virus application or security suite is
installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications
(other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of
these applications running in the background when you reinstalled IE7?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

See any of the following:

Internet Explorer 7 Opens "runonce2.aspx" or "runonce3.aspx"

The problem is in this registry key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0\win32]

The default value should be: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll


Create then merge this registry file to fix the problem:

1. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

----------copy inside only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"RunOnceHasShown"=dword:00000001
"RunOnceComplete"=dword:00000001

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1]
@="Microsoft Internet Controls"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0\win32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ieframe.dll"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\FLAGS]
@="0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\HELPDIR]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32"

----------copy inside only----------

2. Save-as IE7_RunOunce_Fix.reg (or any name + .reg)

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.
