Home Page

Major Geeks Support Forum has been my home page for years. I had a username and different PCs but I was our of commision due to an accident for a couple of years. That's why it says I've been a member since 2011, when really I signed up years before that. Still, when the hospital gave me my PCs back (in 2011), this was still my Home Page (in IE). Over a year ago I changed to Chrome, due to some player problem. I pretty much hated Chrome, but my tech guy said IE wouldn't play some things anymore.

Chrome has always opened into Major Geeks as my home page, for over a year it's been fine. As of two days ago, Chrome opens up in in that blank page with images of recently visited sites. I have used the same cookie clearer and use the Chrome>Settings>History>Delete Browsing thing every night for over a year, and all's been fine.

Now as of two days ago with no Home Page, I have done the Chrome Setting things where you assign a page to open into about 15 times, putting this site in. The next time I power on, it's always the six or eight mini- images of blank screens. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

 

Oh, I forgot: This laptop is an ACER., ASPIRE, Intel Pentium P6200,17.3" HD+LED LCD, Intel HD Graphics, 500 GB HD, DVD Super- Multi Dl Drive (but I switched it out for a BluRay play Regular DVD deck a year ago), AcER Nplify 802.11 b/g/n.

 

Thank you for answering! I was and probably still am the username I began with, but I don't remember it - the accident put me in a coma for a couple of months and I still can't remember what caused it or the first 2 months in hospital. I was going to scroll down the members listing and find my old name, but there are so many pages that I figured since I don't have a clue what my name was, why bother.

The cookie remover is a little icon that looks like a chocolate chip cookie in the upper-right of the url screen, right next to the three horizizontal lines to adject Chrome Setting. From what I can tell in Settings, it is actually a part of Chrome.

I have seen those white mini-screens before, and sometimes they are images of what sites I've been to, which is fine. And I use the cookie cleaner, Chrome History delete every time I shut down. As I said, it was all working great and Major Geeks was my home page when I powered up until 3 or four days ago - whenever I asked this question. I "set page" in Chrome Setting so many times since then, but it doesn't stay set. I miss IE so much...

 

Thank you! I wouldn't use Chrome unless I had to for work. But the chocolate coooke manager + Chrome>Settings>History Clean to the beginning of time + Advanced System Care Ulimate 7 has been just great for all of this time - about 18 months on this PC. I religiously do all of those steps before logging off, and the next time I have always gotten this forum as my home page when I power on again. Until a couple of days before I asked for help in this forum (because I had to go through the password verification emails back and forth and that took some time), everything was swell.

I don't get it and I need help! Is anyone able to assist? Thanks.

 

Also, I put glowing report and links to Major Geeks about three days ago on every social media I use, partly because DavidPB has is as part of his tag line

 

I fixed it myself just now sort of. I put in the Major Geeks url as Home Page for the umpteenth time in Chrome>Settings, etc. and just after signing out and going back to desktop, Advanced System Care window detected the change and asked if it was okay. One time in a hundred, probably, that the two things were happening within seconds. Yay!
