have to manually type in http:// in address window

[jason m]

ie is not responding for about one minute after a website
is typed in manually if i just type it with the www.
formatt, however links and favorites still load quickly.
Also, if i type in http:// myself the website loads
normally. I have completely reinstalled ie and updated
downloaded all of the service packs and continue to have
the problem. Any Ideas?

AutoCorrect feature can correct common errors. For example, if you
accidentally type "htp://" or "http:\\" instead of "http://," Internet
Explorer 5 and 6 can automatically correct the error as soon as you click Go
or press ENTER.
To turn on the inline AutoComplete feature for Web addresses, follow these
steps in Internet Explorer:

1.. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.. Click the Advanced tab.
3.. Under Browsing, click the Use inline AutoComplete for Web addresses
check box, and then click OK.

If this does not help, open Registry (regedit.exe) and goto the following
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\URL\DefaultPrefix

In the right-pane, set the data for the value "default" to "http://"
