Default StartRun and Address Bar (taskbar) not Launching URLs

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?)

Cheers,

Hi Anand,

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

Go to start run and type the following:

regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll

Good luck

Default StartRun and Address Bar (taskbar) not Launching URLs

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!
