I'm sorry if this has been a repeated question, but I didn't understand the
prior posts and I'm not sure if this is the same problem.

I use IE6. I previously was able to type in a URL in the address bar and
click "go" or hit "enter." I would then be taken to that website. Now, when
I hit "enter" or click "go," nothing happens. IE6 works if I open a
favorites website, and if I search for a website using Google, but I can't go
directly to the website by entering the website name. This happened just
recently and is this part of the Microsoft Update snafu. Is there a simple
fix, as if I read the fixes, it seems complicated and I'm not very savvy on
the computer to make fixes without having a fear of messing up my computer.

Thank you in advance.
 
What don't you understand?
What operating system?

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx has
been revised to v1.1 to reflect the issues in KB918165 and now points
to the KB918165.

Now may not be the time to learn Regedit.
I suggest you use a .reg file already done for the purpose.

Unzip it, extract the .reg file to a folder, right-click it and select
Merge and confirm when asked.

I am having the same issue. The updates on or about April 13 have been
playing havoc on my browser. (Using XP) I have to continually do a system
restore to an earlier time before the "upgrades" take place in order to be
able to type an address and go to it. Otherwise the only web site I can
assess by typing the address is Microsoft. I have disabled any third party
browser buttons...but to no avail. I guess I just have to keep refusing the
updates or once they load, restore to an earlier time until I can find
another fix that will allow the "upgrades" to work.
 
Why not use the same answer?
