    When I go online and try to use Internet Explorer and I type a site in the address bar, nothing happens. The only way I can access a site is through favorites.

    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hi jamesmart

    Try this:

    • Exit all programs, including Internet Explorer (if it is running).
    • If you use Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run. Type inetcpl.cpl in the Open box, and then press Enter.
    • If you use Windows Vista, click Start. Type inetcpl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
    • The Internet Options dialog box will appear.
    • Click the Advanced tab.
    • Under Reset Internet Explorer settings, click Reset. Then click Reset again.
    • When Internet Explorer finishes resetting the settings, click Close in the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box.
    • Start Internet Explorer again.

    If this does not work,

    http://www.ietips.net/downloads/reregister_ie.zip

    Download the .zip file, unzip and run the same as administrator (The
    attachment has a BAT file, which will re-register a group of DLL Files
    related to IE).

    This should resolve the issue.

    NOTE - Ensure that no IE window (also windows folders) is open while
    executing the above file.
