Chrissie Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 When our computer (home XP, English version) started up this morning there was an option to update our Wanadoo connection and by mistake we pressed "Yes"......Now we have a horrible new Wanadoo start-up page, with hideously tiny font, toolbar and all buttons in French of course, and have lost our Google taskbar etc. Going into "my configuration" and changing the "page de demarrage" has absolutely no effect. We tried a System Restore to a couple of days ago, but still no joy.Can anyone tell us how to get rid of this update?Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate CKate C Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 If you mean your homepage in Internet Explorer, then go to Tools - Internet Options - and the first window that appears will give you the option to change your homepage. If you use Google for example - just type in www.google.co.uk or whatever you want. Click the APPLY button then OK shut down Int Exp and restart Int Expl.Does this help?

Chrissie Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 Right - there's good news and bad news:Changing the homepage in the Tools Menu didn't seem to stick, BUT I worked my way through the Configuration menus and finally discovered I could ask it to connect using Internet Explorer rather than Wanadoo - and Voilà! We're back in the land of large English text again.Thanks for your suggestion - it was that that made me think to try this!Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate CKate C Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I don't like these dial up services and I would suggest that you look at configuring your own Dial Up access via IE - Tools - Internet Options - Connections and then you will see an ADD button.You will need to know the user settings and telephone number to input the required data. These you will probably find either in the Config part of the Wanadoo dialer or in your Account details online in Wanadoo.Come back to me if you need anything else.

Baz Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I know it might sound silly but when changing Homepage in the tools menu did you click APPLY before clicking OK. If this doesn't work, try going via your control panel and clicking on Internet options.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I would definitely agree with Kate C, certainly in the case of the Wanadoo software.With Wanadoo dial-up it is quite possible to configure and use a standard Windoze dial-up connection. I did it and used it like that for ages. It was far more robust than the Wanadoo software. You do not need any special Wanadoo software, drivers, nothing like that. Not problems with Wanadoo “taking anything over”. Definitely better and easier.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
