When i type an address into the address bar and hit enter,
IE 6 hangs after a few seconds. I end up having to shut
it down from Task Manager. All other browsing features
work. I have reinstalled IE6 and still have this problem.

Anybody have any ideas? I would apreciate some help.

Please email at (e-mail address removed) if you know what i
can do.

One possible cause of this is corruption in the History folder.

Delete the History folder- a new one will be created on restart.

Less likely, but you could have spyware/parasites.

Hope this helps,
