SP2 and IE6.0- address issues

[Jake]

Ever since Home XP SP2 was installed I ahve the following issues with my IE.

Clicking the down arrow on the address bar (to go to a previously visited
site) seems to lock the computer with the hour glass spinning endlessly and
have to use End Task.
I CAN type in the address of a website and it works. Except that I have to
type in the whole format, http://www.<site>.com. It will not name resolve
when typing in just <site>.com or even www.<site>.com.
In a cmd window it does resolve <site>.com or even www.<site>.com.
Firewall and pop-up blocker turned off doesn't seem to fix it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
