I upgraded my system to XP SP2. Everthing seems to work OK except the
address Bar will not except anything. I can type in a site
(www.microsoft.com), but when I hit return or click go, nothing happens. The
curse just sit there and the brower does nothing. I can type the site in my
google search box and it will take me right to it. I can click on links to
go from site to site. I just cant get to anysite through the address box

I have run spybot, and ad aware

any help would be appreciated
 
Hi, what happens if you type http:// before the URL, can you get to the site then?

If so check your settings here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
If there is NO data value entry for WWW, add HTTP:// as the data value.
ie: "www"="http://"
