Hiya,
I have a problem with internet explorer on my Xda2, Ive searched the forums and cant find anything that helps. The problem is that whilst I'm surfing on my xda and go to another program, then switch back to IE and IE has reset back to the home page. This happens all the time, which means if someone messages me on msn whilst I'm surfing I lose the web page. Its very irritating and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Hi,
I am not really sure what causes the problem you explained, but why dont you consider other web browser for your XDAII? Here is the list of some alternative web browsers for pocketpc:
1. Access Netfront 3.0 (www.access-us-inc.com)
2. Thunderhawk (www.bitstream.com/wireless/)
3. MultiIE (www.multiie.info)
Personally, I prefer Netfront and Thunderhawk. Anyway, you should check those for yourself.
Regards.

The cause of the problem is that Pocket IE gets closed. So when you "switch back" to Pocket IE, you're actually launching it again. And the new instance of Pocket IE starts at the home page. Too bad I only know the cause of the problem and not the solution.

Perhaps you are hitting the 32 process limit when you switch to another application.
Perhaps try upgrading to the latest ROM, and also remove unused apps from the windows\startup folder.
HTH,

Try to set the home page to BLANK!
Also try MultiIE its the best of all,, you can save images, save web pages, scroll the page by tapping it, and much more.... :)
