Address bar not working

[Big Dave]

HI all

On a completely fresh install of Windows XP Pro and SP2 the address bar in
IE6 is not working. When the browser is opened it automatically goes to the
Home Page and links work but if I type an a web address the PC just sits
there.

Searching from the address bar is enabled in the advanced tab of internet
options but there is no Java VM there.

Can anybody point me in the way to fix this problem as I'm having to click
on Search and type the site in there and click the link from the results.
