Hi, I would like to know if anyone can help me. I can not get the adress bar
on the internet to work. When I type on the website address it is fine but as
soon as you press 'enter' to go to the website. It just doesn't respond. The
little "Blueyonder" logo in top right hand corner resets its self, like it is
opening the site, but after 5 minutes nothing has happened. I can use Google
to get me around the net but this is very annoying haveing to go to it for
every site I want. Is there anyone that can help me?

Hi,
IE6 on Windows XP? An update released on April 11 has been causing
this problem.

Go to Control Panel> Add or remove programs. Tick the "Show updates" box at
the top. Find Security Update KB908531 near the bottom of the list. Select
it. Click on Remove.

Hope this helps,
Don
