my pc won't leave my home page

Since I installed the last 4 windows update (I run XP with service pack 2,
explorer 7), I am stuck on my home page whether I choose a favorite, a link,
or type in an address. I can open a new tab, and access a site from a new
tab. But I can not access a new site from my home page, even though the
address appears in the correct place. I also can't use the back arrow.

any ideas?

What four (4) updates did you install?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?
