Hi Cameron :)
cannot search from address bar, (page cannot be displayed)


please help, i am haveing to use google to type in
address's

What Windows version do you have? IE6 or IE6 SP1?

Try the following and see if it helps.

Unable to search from IE 6.0 address bar

From Internet Explorer click on tools>internet options>advanced. Scroll down
to "search from the address bar" and check appropriate boxes. Another way is
to put the Google tool bar on I.E. Go to www.google.com and click on
"services and tools" then click "google toolbar". I don't know whose search
engine is best. I use Google.
In fact I didn't know about the search from address bar of I.E. until I read
your post.

Also, check the Registry to see if this file is there. Sometime during
removal of hijackers or spyware files in the Registry can get corrupted or
removed as well. If not, try adding this line to this part of the registry.

It the above does not solve the problem, then try the following:

Try this and see if it helps.

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

Then do the following to clean the cause from your system:

It is likely you have parasites, spyware, adware, malware, or hijackware on
your system causing the problem, which your antivirus will not detect, as it
does not have the same definitions. Download and install, then you *MUST*
update the programs prior to running to be sure they have the latest
definitions, then run the programs below. They are free and very effective.
Be sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does not detect the
other may. It is important that you do all the steps and follow all
directions carefully:

IMPORTANT:
Before trying to remove spyware, download a copy of LSPFIX from
the URL below - some malware may kill your internet connection when it is
removed, this program will enable you to regain your connection.

Hope this helps.
