Hello,

I'm using a Windows XP Pro SP2 box with IE6.
When I type in an address such as "google.com" and hit Enter, nothing
happens and it states it's done. Even when I type in "www.google.com"
nothing happens.
I have to type in the full URL "http://www.google.com" to get IE to respond
and go to the website.
Please assist.
Thank you.

To use: Download the .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you may want
to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file. You will
be prompted when the script is done.

The Registry edit referenced in Resolutions section of 918615 above can be
implemented by downloading:

(2) Mike Reavey[MSFT] suggests here
http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archiv...18/425473.aspx that older
NVIDIA graphics card drivers may be a factor in applications ceasing to
respond after installing MS06-015. Check your computer manufacturer's Tech
Support pages for NVIDIA driver updates or start here:

You should not post a link directly to the VBS file itself; link to the page
with instructions on where to find the download.

Sandi,

I accept that, not the anonymous insinuation.

ALL posts in a newsgroup are anonymous whatever the signature or a.k.a.'s.
