Hi, I am using internet explorer 8 with inPrivate activated. I have google set as my homepage,the drop down list where gmail,images,maps etc are,does not appear,and the page says error?,but if I go to my favorites and select google,it is ok? does anyone know why this is?,as it is annoying as I have to select google from the favorites. Thanks Rip

Hi Kenny
LOL Yeah... I did what you said but the problem is still there,if I disable inprivate it is ok, but enabled I have the problem,but if I click google on my favorites it is ok,it only happens when I start ie8,as google is my homepage...:confused:

I think it is a google problem. A few months ago google.com stopped working for me at home.

I had to start using the url I had bookmarked, which had a bunch of stuff off the end of the url. If i remember correctly, it had things like lan=en in it.

Try changing the homepage to none and do a few re-boots...
Then change it back re-boot and see what happens....

Suddenly works for me now. I didn't have to reboot or anything. Could have been a hiccup on their server.
