Has anyone encountered a problem where if you enter a URL
into the address field without http:// nothing happens?
You can click on the Go button all you want. If you add
the http:// before www. it works fine.

The problem is intermittent and I haven't been able to
figure out when it does and doesn't happen.

Check the below Registry entries vs. yours:

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

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