Sorry to hear that didn't help. If you haven't done so already,
you might want to post this question to one of the Internet
Explorer newsgroups.
It sounds as if there's a problem with the cookie for that site.
Take a look in C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Cookies for
a file named google.txt. Open it and see if there's an entry like
this. :LD=en:.
Have you tried deleting the cookies for google.com? Check the
Cookies folder as well as the "Temporary Internet Files" folder
You also might want to check any antispyware programs that you
have installed on your computer. See if they have a feature that
prevents changes from being made to your homepage. Or set a
different home page and then see if you can apply the settings
you want to www.google.com.
