Best guess is that is a registry security setting that got set to lock you out.
Have a look at this: Can't change home page google search

check your immunize settings in spybot. there is one that if checked won't allow you to change your home page.

You know, it's pretty bad when you have to check the checklists to make sure you haven't screwed yourself with all of these settings. I can't tell you how many times a host file, homepage lock, or some other setting has caused me to pull hair out.
