ISP Change

[shylock73]

Somehow, many months ago I inadvertently (how? I don`t remember) changed my ISP from Virgin Media to Yahoo (Why? I don`t know) anyhow, how do I change back to Virgin? I have read many of the same queries that one gets when you submit popular questions but I am not too clever understanding, so please inform in detail what I must do. TIA.

Well i'd assume you have to be with virgin, so you would have to go back. Be aware your current ISP might have a time period in place, so if you do change, you may still have to pay.

Is yahoo an ISP? I didn't think they were.

Who do you pay your bill too?

[trish432]

Do you mean you changed your email address?

[ChuckFickens]

do you mean that when you open your internet browser you now get a yahoo page first when it used to be a virgin media page?

I know what you mean: I inadvertently move house the other day (how? I don't remember). I now live in basement (Why? I don't know) How can I move back to my old house? Please reply in detail, as I know lots of people who have also accidentally moved house (or changed their cars).

ChuckFickens....You`ve got it.

[Ethel]

Shylock , that is called your Browser Home Page.

If you use Internet Explorer (IE) this tells you how to change it:

Thanks Ethel, I`ll put it in my memory bank.

[shylock73]

Rojash, where did I mention anything about moving house???

[shylock73]

To Ethel...I have followed the link, but the blue bar still says ISP provided by Yahoo!

[Ethel]

As I don't use IE much I am at a bit of a loss now - but try clicking

tools - toolbars

If there is a yahoo toolbar and it is ticked, untick it.

Close IE and restart it.

If that doesn't work, post a new question with IE home page problem as the topic.

[ChuckFickens]

shylock,

What it says in that top title bar is not relevant to anything, looks like you have installed the yahoo toolbar which has changed the heading, if you really want to change it I will post instructions for you on how to change it to whatever you want. you caould make it say "internet explorer provided by shylock" if you wanted but it is a fairly in depth procedure to change it and as I said it means nothing what it says there.

Best bet is just ignore what it says.

ChuckFickens and Eth, thanks again, I won`t let it make me lose any sleep then, although last night I went to bed at 10pm and because of foot cramp didn`t get to sleep til 03.00 hrs, Yawn.

Well Shylock, in those 5 hours you could have come to AB and probably found some cures for cramp... thats if you could have remembered how to find AB or even how to open your browser LOL!
