Hello,
Everytime when I type a url(or path) into the internet explorer adress
bar(and the windows explorer), it refreshes in about 5 seconds to the
original path he is loaded.
Anyone know how to fix this? because I cant visit long-url's now, the bar is
refreshed before i'm finished typing the url :|
 
yeah, i have no adware or spyware or viruses..
my live scanner is windows defender. but other programs won't find anything
too.

Isn't the rest of the auto-completed string shown highlighted in gray?
That means IE simply picked what is the next best matching URL from its
cache. That doesn't mean that is the URL that you have to use. Just
keep on typing your URL. If it is different then the auto-select goes
away so no extra gray-highlighted string appears after what you have
typed in. Or hit the Backspace key to eliminate the gray-highlighted
auto-selected string so only what you typed in gets used. You could
also flush the auto-complete cache and start all over again from
scratch.
 
No that isn't it:)
i know what the cashe etc. is;)

but i've solved the problem. uhh. "solved".
a system restore.
after i installed (and removed, because the tabs wont work) internet
explorer 7 beta, i had the problem.
and windows media player 11 whas too sick :p everytime after 10 minutes or
something a error occured. and everytime i've closed the WMP. uninstall won't
worked so i did a complete system restore. that solved all of my problems.
 
And now i have the problem again-_- sometimes it is there, sometimes there's
nothing to worry :|

You installed betaware on your computer and really expect it to behave
correctly, even after an uninstall of the betaware? Beta software gets
installed on a test host, not on a critical production host or an
important host, expecially if it is the only one that you have. I
haven't bothered experimenting with IE7 because it is betaware which
also means that I don't have experience in knowing how it ****s up the
system to cause problems when reverting back to IE6. You omitted
mentioning that you installed IE7 betaware in your first post. If you
had mentioned it, I wouldn't have replied and instead let someone else
grab that discussion. You also mention installing WMP 11 which is also
betaware. Boy, you really decided to screw over your working setup. If
you are going to use your one and only computer to test betaware, be
prepared to wipe the drive and do fresh installs from scratch to rebuild
your system. My best guess at this point is to reinstall IE6 and hope
that the install steps atop whatever IE7 screwed up and left behind
after the supposed uninstall.

If I do install betaware on my one and only home computer, I save a disk
or partition image so I can be guaranteed to have a recovery path that
gives me the hard drive back to its exact state before installing the
betaware. System Restore won't do that. Another alternative is to use
ShadowSurfer (it was free at
http://www.shadowstor.com/download.html). This lets you enable its
protection, install and test some software, and then reboot back to the
same state the drive was in before you did the software install.
