Internet explorer 6 address bar problem

[Powerlite]

Hello,

Problem:
When typing a URL in the addressbar of IE6 SP1

I have to wait minutes before getting the page.
there is no progressbar or anything. I just have to wait.
Finally the page opens.

When i select an url out of my favorites , this problem does not occures. I get the pages instantly

any ideas ?

it could be internet connection problems, if you are using dial up and maybe have a bad/noisy phone line? lost packets?

your favorites might load fast becasue they might be stored on your local hard disk? just a guess. -Nate

you can reinstall IE in Windows XP by clicking Start, Run and entering the following command:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

You will need to have your XP CD available.

I learned using SFC /Scannow at the command prompt will help in repairing IE.

Try disabling any unrequired services that are running in background.

SFC /Scannow has found a missing dll , installed it and everything is ok.
