If I type any url into the address box, even very popular
sites like msnbc.com, the software "hangs up" for about
30 seconds, the connects, but when I use any saved
favorite, or any link on any web page, it goes very fast
and no hang ups at all. Only problem is after I tpye a
url into address box.

I have tried many fixes like de frag, disk clean up, and
ad-aware etc, but nothing helps. I don't even see an
easy way to un-install then re-install ie6. I am using
windows xp.

Please help if you can and tia
 
Hi,
You may have corruption in your History folder which is slowing down
autocomplete. Delete the History folder using the appropriate instructions
at http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

It wouldn't hurt to also delete the Temporary Internet Files folder (same
page.)

If those steps don't help, run CWShredder and Spybot in addition to
Ad-aware. See http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Do you have the
latest version of Ad-aware SE and the current definitions file?

Hope this helps,
Don
