IE can't find web address without http:// prefix

[wang]

Without typing prefix http://, IE browser can't find the
web address, and return the error message like We can't
find "www.myweburl.com". I reinstalled IE6, still not
work. Is there any conf. that I can try?
Thanks

fix]
@="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]

If this is the cure then some parasites may have caused this.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit is with these
tools.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
