I can't search in my address bar anymore. I have Windows XP, Internet Explorer 7. Under Internet Options, it is NOT checked for ''do not search in the address bar''. I cleaned up the registry files (using wise disk cleaner) because I installed more RAM and my computer was still going slow. I think that it must have done something to the registry. I did a system restore and it still doesn't work. The default search is set to google, which is what it was before, yet when I type something in the address bar, it says http:///?%20type%20something and address not valid.
Ok, I fixed it myself. I updated my Internet Explorer to 8 and now it works fine. Don't know why or how, but I'm happy as long as it works.Ok, I fixed it myself. I updated my Internet Explorer to 8 and now it works fine. Don't know why or how, but I'm happy as long as it works.

Sometimes these IP address 192.168.1.1 when you type it in the address bar don't work in internet browser like mozilla firefox and ggogle chrome.
If you are using windows xp... use the "e explorer" (internet explorer) as your browser On the address bar type 192.168.1.1 There you can access the configuration of your router.
Check parental controls for internet explorer. Open ie click tools at the top, then internet options then content. Under the content advisor option make sure parental controls are disabled
If your router is connected to your computer via ethernet cable you will be able to get the configuration page of the router.
Windows XP 1. Click start 2. Click run 3. Type cmd in the box and press enter 4. On the black screen type ipconfig and press enter 5. Look for the default gateway 6. Copy that and use that to access the configuration page using the internet explorer 7. Open internet explorer, type http://the default gateway you copied in the address bar of the internet explorer ex: http://192.168.1.0
Windows Vista 1. Click pearl button (start in xp) 2. Click on start search box (run in xp) 3. Type cmd in the box 4. Right click the black icon up at the top 5. Click on run as administrator 6. Click on continue 7. On the black screen type ipconfig and press enter 8. Look for the default gateway 9. Copy that and use that to access the configuration page using the internet explorer 10.

Ok, I fixed it myself. I updated my Internet Explorer to 8 and now it works fine. Don't know why or how, but I'm happy as long as it works.
Ya, I upgraded to IE 8 and now it works fine.
