I just did a clean install due to some new hardware and my IE is stuck on
that first page that lets you set preferences.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277
It went there once, I tried to make choices and go on but it hung. It just
keeps going to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277 and erroring out
with "Page cannot be displayed." I have set my homepage to MSN.com and if I
click home it goes there biut it opens everytime to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277 and erroring out with "Page
cannot be displayed."

Thanks for any help and suggestions,
Sam

Install Firefox 3.0 as I have and you'll never look back...

Sam,
Try Alt-key, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, click on the reset IE
configuration button.
Close IE and start it again.
I also had that problem with a fresh install and I think that I solved it
that way.
The other item I played with was the home icon and its options, nothing else.
Something in between solved it.
