StartRun and Address Bar (taskbar) not Launching URLs
Hello,
Ever since i installed and uninstalled myIE2, i've been unable to launch URLs by typing them into the Address Bar (on my taskbar), or by typing them into StartRun. Description of error message: If i type in an url without a preceeding "http://" I get the message "Windows cannot find 'http://www.ebay.ca'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search". I've tried, without luck: -reinstalling internet explorer -reset web settings -regsvr32 urlmon.dll -rebooting Any suggestions, please? Not being able to launch URLs in this way is sooo annoying, bring back my address bar to me :( Cheers, anand. |

One other thing that might help, when i put in a URL prefixed by an
http://, (ie: "http://www.google.com") there is actually no error message. There is the visual cues that occur when the address bar used to work, that is: -the quick hilighting of the URL text in the address, followed by an immediate de-hilighting, and then the cursor moving to the front of the URL text. Any help would be super appreciated! -anand |

Hi Roger,
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work :( Do you have any other ideas? I would really like to avoid re-installing windows.... (would that even work?)
