when ever I type an address into my address bar I have to hit control, then enter to get it to go to the page.  If I dont it gives me a 'cannot FIND, make sure path or address is correct'.   Please help me try to correct this, it is soo annoying.  I have win xp.Reset your web browser's settings to default.I have tried to reset the browser, it doesnt work.  I have added a patch in my reg also, but it didnt help either.control panel click the add/remove progams tab the scroll down till you come across ie 6 click it and then click the add/remove...a screen will APPEAR chose REPAIR ie 6...did you try view /toolbars and see if the address bar is ticked?Do you think that adware or a worm is floating around?  :-/

[glb]Flame[/glb]I have ran my spy/adware thats isnt the prob, and i have a good virus protector, but I DO think that my problem MAY have stemed from a removal of one of them.  I would like to restore ie6, but it is not in my  control palnel, i have a dell, and ie6 came with it, alonge with WINXP. So of COURSE i have no win xp cd to be able to reinstall or restore it with. grrr..... I appreciate all the advice you have given to me.  I hope that i keep getting responces that i can keep trying.. Thank-You All!! reboot pc and hold the f8 key and chose the last good config...
