This is the 2nd time this has happened for no apparent reason. I am running
xp pro and have the content box checked for it, I have autocomplete checked
for options . The last time it happened for 3 months or so it stopped and
then just started again and now its happening again. It is only the address
bar i am having the problem with. It's driving me crazy typing everything in.
Help please
 
Hi,
This might indicate corruption in the History folder.

Login as Administrator or another user with administrator privileges and
delete the affected
History folder from Windows Explorer.

You would not be able to delete this History folder when logged in as
yourself- it's "In use." You should be able to delete it from the
Administrator account.

Also, is "Use Inline Autocomplete" checked in Internet Options> Advanced?

Hope this helps,
