Hi. I recently purchased a new cpu. I have a cable
modem and have installed norton internet security. The
problem is that when I key in a web site in the address
box without http:// I can't connect, but if I include the
http:// I get right there. Is there a setting to have
the http:// appear automatically when I key a www.
address? Thanks
 
Jay,
Verify the below Registry entries are correct ........

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPre
fix]
@="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"
