Unable to access website when typed into the address box

by rgrben . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

PLEASE HELP FIND ANSWER TO WHY I CAN NOT ACCESS ANY PARTICULAR WEBSITE TYPED INTO THE BROWSER ADDRESS BOX.

My pc is a sr1318NX Compaq Presario using WinXP. If I use the address already in the down arrow list, It’s fine it can display right away the website I need to go to. Also it’s the same when I use the manual ALT/Enter to activate what is typed into the browser box, and the 3rd way is via the Favorites addresses already in that section.

BUT… when I type it in manually the address into the browser box it hangs up and after a while it says address not recognized, eventually gives error of “program not responding with options: end now or cancel,,then it will prompt for 2 options: Send report to microsoft or Do not send.

I have already ran antispyware ad-aware SE and no critical malware found, and also AVG antivirus program fine.

I have also restored it to December 31, 2007 checkpoint with same problem and unfortunately that was the last checkpoint time to restore to. Which recalling,,, problem might have come up came up before that date last restore date.

Please advise guys what else I can do to fix this problem.
