hi i have a problem with possibly a few programs but right now im only sure about IE 6.
when i run IE the window opens up normally and the home page loads.
if i then type a url in the address bar say
www.google.com.au and hit enter/click go absolutely nothing will happen the page will stay as the home page and at the bottom of the page it will say done as soon as i add the http:// before the url so say i entered
http://www.google.com.au and hit enter/clicked go it will work completely normally. the other program i have had trouble with is and file transfer program that wont transfer the file although i can get access to the location to see the files which im assuming is probably related and is not associating the download with the ftp protocol.
by the way Firefox does not have this problem. It works fine.
i have tried going into the registery and going to the place that specifies the default prefixes to use and everything is normal. I am assuming it is not hardware related as it is specific to these few programs IE 6 and PcAnywhere. i am using Norton Internet security 2006 i have had it installed before this started happening, windows firewall is turned off and so is my router firewall i have tried resetting all of IE internet options with no success as well as resetting the router. i have the latest updates for IE 6 and cannot reinstal IE because when i download the installation file off of the microsoft website and try and install it, it says i have a newer version and it wont install it.
thanks for bothering to read all of that. any help would be apprieciated.
