Hello Bruce,
I am not sure what you mean by " I unplugged the batteries back up to the BIOS with the power off". Will you please clarify? I hope all is still working well for you. It will be fantastic to fix this problem.
Kind regards,
Barbara

Under the cover on the bottom of my HP dv7 is a small round battery that plugs into the mother board. With the power unpluged from the laptop I unpluged the battery from the mother board. I am assuming that that is backup power to the BIOS because the next morning when I had to reset time and date. I may be wrong it may just be a date time back up of some sort. What ever it is by doing that I fixed the problem.
The laptop has been working great now, it was almost usless going back to the home page/opening new widows all the time.

Hi Batron,
Since you have followed all the previous steps, and have not been able to resolve Internet Explore from opening multiple times. I have included a link to a thread here http://bit.ly/1jCcj1T. Please go through the conversation, and pay attention to the posts from 'To Insanity and Beyond'.
After going through all the steps, and if you are still unable to resolve the issue, you should consider doing a complete factory reset. I have included the document 'Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 😎'. Please select the option for Factory Reset.
Regards.

It's been awhile and I wonder if anyone has found a soution to this problem? I have the hpdv7 6c 43cl and developed this problem about two months ago, after about three years of use. I have done all the steps suggested by responders to this thread, but to no avail. The web page (home page) keeps re-opening every few seconds. I read all the prior posts and all the issues discussed before apply to me so I won't repeat them all. Same with all the steps tried, including a factory re-set. (WIN 7 home premium) Is there an angel out there who could shed more light on this? Thanks

Hi guys.
This problem was solved...
Long story short it is the www key malfunctioning and continually launching browser windows.
You have to disable that key, with a simple software hack. Here is the original thread, weird how I looked in here on a whim.
Cheers, hope this helps

I read this threat. I couldn't have articulated my problem any better. I read the "www button" fix. However, I have a dv6 and there is no "www button" on my keyboard. Are you referring to a physical button on is this a software thing?
