I am having problems with my IE address Bar. when I type "www.google.com" it states that the address cannot be found. I have to type it in the form "http:/www.google.com". This is really annoying. How do I fix it?

Try this, simply type google hold in the ctrl key and hit enter.

That works. www.google.com still does not. Nice trick, but still very annoying to those who do not know the trick. This is an office laptop and many different people use it.

If it's a work computer you may need to ask your network admin or IT department about it. JMHO

We are a small company. I technically am one of the network admin.... It is not just google that is a problem. It is any and every address. I don't know if I made that clear.

That worked. Thanks!!!

What worked for you? The Google groups link?

My quick fix is to use Firefox
