Guest JDMinPDX Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 SOB! I was trying to change the homepage to something that I wanted to open up every time I launched IE and think I screwed something up. Now No pages are loading... It will say connecting, locating, opening and it will just sit there. Nothing else happens and I have tried this for EVERY page. Dammit. Windows Live Search, Google Maps, Yahoo Go, etc all work fine so I know the data is there. Here is what I did and I tried to correct it but I dont know whats wrong... I went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/AboutURLs THEN, I went to "home", clicked MENU and chose to "Modify Binary Data"... Once in there I saw this where Value Data was: 68 00 74 00 74 00 70 00 3A 00 2F 00 2F 00 68 00 6F 00 6D 00 65 00 00 00 I changed that to www.google.com and restarted. I loaded IE and it didnt work. I went back in and realized that I should have just clicked right on "home" because once I was in there I just saw a http://home or something like that. SOOO, I changed that to google.com and went back in to the original place I was in and plugged back in those #'s. I rebooted and it still will not work. Please help. This sucks.
Guest JDMinPDX Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) I get this error when I first open IE: "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again." I get this error when I try to navigate to a bookmarked site: "Error 502 - Bad Request The Server could not resolve your request for uri: /m" Ahh, I just want this back to normal and I can live without have a specified start page!

Guest JDMinPDX Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Anyone? Can someone check to see what they have in there?
Guest thelostsoul Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Don't press "Modify Binary Data" just press the center key while it's highlighted. Also, make sure you enter "http://" before the url. Even with home, enter http://home Another possibility for your network troubles: start - settings - connections - gprs Delete the "ATT IMS" one. It seems to cause sporadic problems, but without it everything works fine...

Guest thelostsoul Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Hmm...yea, another thing I noticed that happened on my old phone frequently (but only a couple times on my BJII) was that IE would simply not load any pages. Not errors, just a white screen. Never figured it out, but found that I had to go to the wireless manager and turn off and on the phone there. It was always weird, but it wasn't a huge inconvenience...
