IE 6 will only load home page

[stegjohn]

Running Windows XP Pro SP3, IE6. When I open IE it will load the home page
and any other page on the same site, but as soon as I type in an address from
the address bar it will display cannot find this address to anything after
that.

Hi,

before moving ahead, Try this simple step,

Open Internet explorer--->tools-->internet options-->advanced-->uncheck on
the option says "enable third party browser extenstion"
