When I type a web address into the Internet Explorer address bar, it is highlighted blue, like normal, but will not "go" to the site I have entered. The bar at the bottom of the screen says "Done" the entire time, and even when I press the "Go" icon to the right of the address bar nothing happens. The only way that I can access sites is by using the search feature on the MSN homepage. (This is what I have set as my homepage.) Can someone please help me with this? It is pretty annoying! :)

This is sometimes cause by a corrupted version of IE. He is simple fix for window XP. IF you are not using windows XP, you need to provide us with the version of window you are using. IF for some reason you don't know version. \n1. Click Start, and then click Run.\n2. In the Open box, type winver, and then click OK.\n\nWindows XP and Windows XP SP1: Reinstall or repair Windows XP\nTo repair or reinstall Internet Explorer in Windows XP, complete the following procedure while you are logged on as an administrator:\n1.

Try downloading the internet explorer add-on.  I have it, and when something wont load, you click an IE icon in the bottom corner and it makes the website think it is an Internet Explorer search window.  You do not need to have internet explorer installed on your computer for this to work.  It's been a while since I added mine on so I dont know the best way to find this add-on any more.  Best bet is search 'internet explorer' on the extensions page.  Hope you find it because it works great!

Most probably the tabs option in ie7 have been modified.. so for that matter in ie7 goto Tools, Internet Options, General... there go to the settings of Tabs .. now click check 'enable tabbed browsing'...and beneath that check other useful options to be used in tabbed browsing.... remember that you will have to restart ie7 after enabling tabbed browsing....\nHope that resolves your problem....\nenjoy

You're obviously connected to the internet, so try opening a new web browser and typing in www.yahoo.com. Now open a new browser and wait. What's the default address that appears in the URL bar? Your start page might be set to something random that causes that error, so if you're using Internet Explorer go to tools > internet options then under "home page" type in the address you want to use as your default page when you open a new browser window.

I wonder if people type in the html code directly into the answers - I will test this theory now. \n\nlink typed in www.yahoo.com \nlink typed with http http://www.yahoo.com \nlink copy and pasted in http://au.yahoo.com/ www.yahoo.com\nlink written in HTML <a href='http://www.yahoo.com'>Link to Yahoo</a>\n\nwhen I previewed this, only the website addresses with HTTP:// are highlighted - I guess this is the difference.

Yes, although it has not been advertised (most likely because it is not as smooth as Firefox), the current MSN Search Toolbar for Internet Explorer offers the option to use a tabbed interface.

Welll, we've got IE7 with no problems.  But what we noted is:  First, the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, etc) does not automatically turn on by default, as it did in prior IE.  You have to turn it on yourself by clicking on Tools, then check Menu Bar; now it will come on automatically.  Second, the Favorites work slightly differently (click on yellow star) and once you get the hang of it, very easy to use.  Third, there is a Print button that is very easy to use.  Fourth, once you get used to the tabs and how to use them, they are a great and very fast feature.  Fifth, you can designate Yahoo as your home page and it comes right up, so I'm not sure how there is interference.  \n\nIf your computer meets all the IE7 requirements, I'd try to download again, from Microsoft Update site.  All of your current IE settings and favorites will automatically be transferred.

Have you downloaded something like messenger or the toolbar after you reset the home page? Because those things often reset it. Try going again to Tools>Internet Options>and erase www.yahoo.com from the home page box and type in whatever you want.

have you tried unchecking it and then check it again? \nif that is not the case what sometimes happen is that your address tool bar have move to another position right click on a empty grey area on your toolbar and see if lock toolbar is checked if not then just searh for the word address there will be 3 vertical dots next to it.\nand if you move hold your mouse over these and drag you should be able to reposition your address toolbar that is if this is your problem.one other thing you can check is make sure your not in full screen on view --> full screen other wise use restore down middle square on right top side

Wow, that is rather strange.  Though first approach the simple solution.\n\nIs it IE thats the problem or merely your keyboard?  Is it only the main enter key on the keyboard or does the one on the numpad work?  I normally wouldn't ask this, but you didn't use the Enter key in your paragraph once, so I have no clue if its solely the IE address line or your keyboard itself.  If not, explain further with more detail and I'll give it another shot.

The Yahoo! toolbar is only compatible with Internet Explorer & Mozilla Firefox. It's not supported with the AOL browser.\n\nLaunch Internet Explorer when you're connected to AOL, and see if it appears there.\n\nIf you want to use the Yahoo! toolbar, you'll have to use Internet Explorer to browse the web, after you connect to AOL.

After a Windows Update about a month ago, there was a problem where entering something into the address bar would do nothing, but not crash the browser...  I'm not sure if your issue is related to this bug, but you might want to visit http://www.windowsupdate.com/ and see if there's anything your computer is lacking in the update department that will fix the problem.\n\nIt could also be spyware.  The fact that you're entering in information when the crash occurs points to this more than some other situations---It's almost as if a piece of spyware was removed, but not fully, and something that a lingering piece of spyware is looking for is no longer there, causing the crash.  Run several spyware programs.  I like the trio of Pest Patrol (you can get from the Yahoo toolbar), Ad-Aware, and Spybot S&D (both available from http://www.download.com/) for a good amount of coverage.\n\nIt also could be a security program.  Try disabling Firewalls, pop-up blockers, and in-broswer toolbars and see if the issue goes away.  You can disable most security programs by seeking them out in the system tray (area in the lower right next to the clock), right clicking and choosing disable/quit/exit, etc.  Toolbars can be disabled by going to view>toolbars and removing the check by clicking on each one.\n\nIn the old days, you could run a browser repair.  Not possible any more for some reason.  Even an uninstall and reinstall is difficult to do.  Switching to Firefox or other browser is a great idea, but if you'd prefer not to, I hope one of these suggestions work.  Rolling back to a previous date could work, but you can lose data.\n\nGood luck!

It depends on how the server administrators have configured the service I'm afraid :)\n\nYou could use the following tip to make life a bit easier:\n\nWith the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers, pressing the Control and Enter keys simultaneously will prefix 'www' and suffix '.com' to whatever has been typed into the address box.\n\nHope this helps.
