IE7 & Dell optiplex 755

[denon101]

This summer we installed a suite of 31 dell optiplex 755's. There is something strange going on with IE7. Once in a while the homepage does not load to google it loads to the dell homepage. Has anyone got a clue? it is just these machines and once every say 5 times.

 

I can't find anything on google. Anti-virus is upto date and so is IE7

 

Any opinions???

are you using the IE 7 adm templates?

 

go into the local group policy in one machine and check the settings.

 

run > gpedit.msc

I will check tomorrow. Been having other problems that took priority. Anyway to answer your first question I am using the IE7 adm. As I have other settings configured through it.

 

But will check all the info tomorrow.

we have a similar one where it loads the runonce page again, or it'll open a microsoft IE page... we just ignore it, the kids never read the college website anyway.

To be honest i would flaten the dell image and start from scratch.

Sounds like a decent plan. But I am snowed under with other things. Plus with the christmas period approaching the kids are going mental and the teachers want to just use the ICT suites as a rest. Put the kids in and play games. Might be a job for later in the year.

 

It is not really a problem. I mean the kids and staff just refresh the homepage. But I am picky, I want it to work correctly!! so it is annoying me at the moment. But hey ho!!
