IE wont accept URL without the "http"

[skhoury]

Hello everyone,

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated:

It seems like whenever I launch IE (version 6.0.2800.1106 128bit), and I type a url in...say:

http://www.msn.com

it wont accept it. It just sits there, doesnt even say its looking for it in the status bar.

On the other hand, if I type:

http://www.msn.com

it accepts it no problem, and goes right to the page.

Anythoughts? Many thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this is the answer but have you tried Tools > Internet options > Advanced > Use inline auto complete ?

The above answer is not correct because I do not have this enable and my ie works fine, problem could be spyware you always try a IE repair and see what happens.
