How do I fix a problem with my home page?

My home page reads "about blank" when I open IE and all that shows is a blank white background. I reset it eight or ten times in Options on the IE toolbar each time, but have had no success getting my homepage to open instead of the blank. Does anyone know how I can fix the problem?

Update:

Yes, I clicked on Apply, then Okay.

Update 2:

Going to Tools and using My Home Page function doesn't work since that function isn't on the Options menu of the Tools menu. I did find though that clicking on the dropdown arrow beside Home, the little house on the toolbar, and selecting Add or Change Homepage gave me the answer I was looking for. Thanks for trying.

Update 3:

Even going to the Home icon and making the change I talked about above doesn't fix the problem. Any more ideas anyone?

    Can you please tell me that after entering your home page in the Internet tools option of IE, do you press Apply And then click on OK.

    After doing this, when you again go to the Internet Tools menu, which URL do you see in the address box?
