Hello again!
I tried doing this
But I am still having the intermittent problem with my
browser no longer working for anything other than https
sites. I can't make it happen at will or at least I
haven't yet discovered any certain thing that triggers
this action. I have to reboot the computer to get
browsing capability back. I am running XP Home with SP2
and IE6 with latest SP. I also run Adaware, Spybot Search
& Destroy, and McAfee Antispyware on a regular basis.
Other programs typically running include a Team Speak
server (http://www.teamspeak.org) and a game (City of
Heroes). I do have XP SP2 Firewall on and I use a Router
(Microsoft MN-700 Base Station).
Additionally, the Search from the Address bar still seems
to be nonfunctional. If I type something in the address
bar, it looks like it is trying but nothing happens other
than a blank page. For example, I typed in "falcons" in
the bar and this popped up in the address bar
http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?
srch=106&FORM=AS6&q=falcons but all that displayed was a
white page.

This will restore the Windows defaults for a whole lot of Search related
